Diagnosis of occupational cancer often involves a combination of medical history evaluation, physical examinations, imaging tests, and biopsies. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment. Treatment options may include:
Surgery: Removing the cancerous tissue. Radiation Therapy: Using high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy: Using drugs to destroy cancer cells. Immunotherapy: Boosting the immune system to target cancer cells. Targeted Therapy: Using drugs to target specific cancer cell mechanisms.
The choice of treatment depends on the type and stage of cancer, as well as the patient's overall health.
