																	understanding
																	 
																	those

																	!
																	 
																	Now

																	different
																	 
																	concepts

																	words
																	 
																	like
																	 
																	Hepatoma
																	 
																	and
																	 
																	Polypectomy

																	The

																	Hepatoma

																	the
																	 
																	root
																	 
																		
												
																	-
																	 
																	meaning

																	-
																	ectomy
																	 
																	always
																	 
																	indicates
																	 
																	a
																	 
																		
												
																	,
																	 
																	just
																	 
																	like
																	 
																	in
																	 
																		
												
																	,
																	 
																	which
																	 
																	is
																	 
																	the
																	 
																	removal

																	So
																	,
																	 
																	if
																	 
																	I
