The table above explained that surgery means a medical health check,
something that people do or cause to happen and also something happens at given place and time. According to the American Medical Association Encyclopedia of
Medicine surgery is the treatment of disease, injury, or other disorders by direct physical intervention, usually with instruments.
44
Operative surgery involves incision cutting into the skin or other organ, inspection, removal of diseased

tissue or organs, relief of obstruction, replacement of structure to their normal position, redirection of body channels, transplantation of tissue or whole organs,
and implantation of mechanical or electronic devices.
45
Surgery may be minor or major. Minor operations are usually, but not always, performed using local
anesthesia. Major operations are usually performed using general anesthesia, although local anesthesia is sometimes used.
46
In recent years there has been an increasing trend toward further sub specialization; some surgeons now confine
their practice to such narrow limits as surgery of the hands, the cornea, the same blood vessels, or the skin. From both of meanings above the researcher concludes
that surgery is the treatment of disease, injury and taken in hospital.
Therapy means a medical health check this therapy could be something
happen to patient and could be to prevent disease on patient‟s body. According to the American Medical Association Encyclopedia of Medicine therapy is the
treatment of any disease or abnormal physical or mental condition.
47
Examples of therapy include radiation therapy for cancer and psychotherapy for psychiatric
disorders.
Biopsy
means a medical health check to patient‟s body, something that
people do or cause to happen and also something happens at given place and time. According to the American Medical Association Encyclopedia of Medicine
biopsy is a diagnostic test in which tissue or cells are removed from the body for

examination under the microscope.
48
Most of the procedures are minor and require no sedation, but some require anesthesia. From both of meanings there is
correlation that biopsy is an accurate method of diagnosing many illnesses, including cancer.
Chemotherapy means a medical health check
to body‟s patient, something that people do or cause to happen and also something happens at given place and
time. This treatment is done when the patient was conscious and continually. According to the American Medical Association Encyclopedia of Medicine
chemotherapy is the treatment of infections of malignant disease by drugs that act selectively on the cause the disorder, but which may have substantial effects on
normal tissue.
49
Infections are treated by antibiotics, which may be bacterial killing harmful bacteria, or bacteriostatic stopping further bacterial growth and
allowing the body‟s immune system to take over and destroy the bacteria.
50
One problem with chemotherapy is that natural selection leads to the emergence of
resistant bacteria or cells. This effect is minimized by the discriminatory use of antibiotics, and, in cancer chemotherapy, by giving several different types of
drugs simultaneously. A further problem with cancer chemotherapy is that drugs act on all rapidly dividing cells, not just tumor cells.
51
Thus, they affect the bone marrow, the intestinal lining, the hair follicles sometimes causing baldness, and
the mouth, sometimes causing severe side effects. Antibiotics act more selectively because bacteria have a different structure from human cells, making side effects
