Cancer treatment options vary depending on the type and stage of the disease. Common treatments include surgery to remove tumors, radiation therapy to destroy cancer cells, and chemotherapy to kill rapidly dividing cells. Targeted therapies, which specifically attack cancer cells with certain genetic mutations, and immunotherapies, which boost the immune system's ability to fight cancer, are also increasingly used. Personalized medicine, which tailors treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient's cancer, is becoming an important approach in oncology.
