What Are the Treatment Options for Metastatic Cancer?
Treatment for metastatic cancer is typically systemic, aiming to target cancer cells throughout the body. This can include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and hormone therapy, depending on the cancer type. Localized treatments such as surgery and radiation therapy might be used to control symptoms or treat specific metastases. Advances in personalized medicine are increasingly allowing for treatments tailored to the genetic profile of the tumor.
