title: The use of cardiopulmonary bypass and circulatory arrest in the resection of massive tumors.
abstract: This report describes our experience in five cases, removing a massive soft tissue tumor by means of placing the patient on cardiopulmonary bypass, with profound hypothermia and circulatory arrest. This technique allowed consideration to be given to the resection of tumors previously adjudged "inoperable."
