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.

Chronic glucocorticoid therapy can lead to a condition known as Cushing's syndrome, which includes various endocrine and metabolic disturbances. One of the common complications is hypercalcemia due to increased bone resorption and impaired calcium excretion in the kidneys. Additionally, glucocorticoids can cause a mild increase in serum phosphorus levels, leading to hyperphosphatemia in some cases.
