Several newer treatment options are designed to offer effective cancer control with fewer side effects:
Proton Therapy: This type of radiation therapy uses protons instead of X-rays, targeting tumors more precisely and sparing healthy tissues. Immunotherapy: By harnessing the body’s immune system to fight cancer, immunotherapy often results in fewer side effects compared to traditional therapies. Biological Therapy: Treatments like monoclonal antibodies specifically target cancer cells, reducing damage to normal cells. Radiopharmaceuticals: These drugs deliver radiation directly to cancer cells, minimizing exposure to healthy tissue.
