Cancer treatment varies widely based on the type of cancer, its stage, and the health status of the patient. The most common therapies include:
Surgery: Often used to remove localized tumors. Chemotherapy: Utilizes drugs to kill or slow the growth of cancer cells. Radiation Therapy: Uses high-energy particles or waves to destroy or damage cancer cells. Immunotherapy: Boosts the body’s natural defenses to fight cancer. Targeted Therapy: Targets specific genes or proteins to stop cancer growth. Hormone Therapy: Used for cancers that are sensitive to hormones, such as breast and prostate cancer.
