Medical - Medical (general) / liver cancer
French term or phrase: Staff: chirurgie recusée
Good morning!

I am translating a report about a person who has received chemotherapy for liver cancer.

I need to be accurate in translatinig "recusée" here...

Here is the context:

Stratégie thérapeutique

- 3 mois de traitement par le protocole FOLFOX ........
- FOLFOX 3 MOIS: diminution de 30% des lésions hépatiques
-FOLFOX + Avastin 3 mois: diminution de 35% des lésions hépatiques, diminution de l'ACE = 19,2, CA 19.9 = 26.
-Staff: chirurgie recusée: lésions hépatiques non opérable.

Thank you!

Liz

p.s. I would use "decline", but I need to know for sure.

Explanation:
is how I would say it. It's the team that has decided against surgery, not the patient who has declined or refused.

Asker: Thank you! I could have found this for myself, but sometimes another opinion is very useful and when I am actually "doing" a translation there is more pressure to decide on the spot:)

chirurgie recusée
surgery excluded


Explanation:
Surgery is not necessarily refused. Rather it is not to be offered since the cancer is considered by the medical-surgical team as inoperable because of its spread.
The patient is not offered surgery; the option is not there to be accepted or refused.

"Staff" here refers to the group that meets as the multidisciplinary cancer or tumour board to explore and recommend treatment. Often includes medical oncologists, oncologic surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, etc.
