The type of treatment a patient receives can significantly impact recovery time. Surgical procedures may require extended recovery periods, especially if they are invasive. However, advancements in minimally invasive surgeries have led to shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can also vary in recovery time, depending on the intensity and duration of the treatment. Newer therapies, such as immunotherapy and targeted therapy, often come with different side effect profiles and recovery timelines.
