PathologyDebulking the tumor by surgery makes the tumor cells re-enter the cell cycle and thus become susceptible to drug therapy: This statement is the most accurate. Surgical removal of a tumor (debulking) can indeed lead to the release of tumor cells into the circulation and may also alter the tumor microenvironment. This can make residual tumor cells more susceptible to chemotherapy, as they may re-enter the cell cycle and become more actively dividing, which is when many chemotherapy agents are most effective.
