Can all cancers be treated with surgery?

Christian Cable, Dr. Ryan Osborne & Dr. Noam Z. Drazin (Cancer Experts) gives expert video advice on: Is surgery always necessary to treat cancer?; Can all cancers be treated with surgery?; How can cancer spread if I had surgery to remove it?

It is impossible to remove some cancers surgically, even with <a href="http://www.videojug.com/interview/cryotherapy-2">cryotherapy</a>. There are cancers of the bloodstream which are impossible to remove with surgery alone. These have to be treated with medicines because some cancers are systemic, meaning surgery is just a local treatment. It's not a regional treatment. It's a local treatment. In order for it to be effective, the problem has to be in one place and localized. It has to be a well-defined location where you know exactly the boundaries of the cancer. Any cancer that is moving outside well-defined boundaries cannot be cured by surgery.
