What are the Treatment Options for Malignant Neoplasms?
Treatment options for malignant neoplasms depend on the type, stage, and location of the cancer, as well as the patient's overall health. Common treatment modalities include:
- Surgery: To remove the tumor. - Radiation Therapy: To destroy cancer cells using high-energy radiation. - Chemotherapy: To kill or inhibit the growth of cancer cells using drugs. - Immunotherapy: To boost the body's immune response against cancer. - Targeted Therapy: To target specific molecules involved in cancer growth and spread. - Hormone Therapy: For cancers that are sensitive to hormones, such as certain breast and prostate cancers.
