Surgery Surgery is one of the most common radiation free cancer treatments. It involves physically removing the tumor from the body. This can be highly effective, especially if the cancer is localized.
Chemotherapy Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing. While it can have systemic side effects, it does not involve the use of radiation.
Immunotherapy Immunotherapy leverages the body's own immune system to fight cancer. This can include treatments like checkpoint inhibitors, which help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.
Targeted Therapy Targeted therapy uses drugs designed to target specific molecules involved in the growth and spread of cancer. These treatments can be more precise than chemotherapy.
Hormone Therapy Hormone therapy is used primarily for cancers that are driven by hormones, such as breast and prostate cancers. This treatment blocks the body's natural hormones to slow or stop cancer growth.
