What Are the Treatment Options for Progressive Cancer?
The treatment of progressive cancer depends on the stage and type of cancer, as well as the patient's overall health. Common treatment options include:
Surgery to remove the tumor. Radiation therapy to destroy cancer cells. Chemotherapy to kill or slow the growth of cancer cells. Targeted therapy that specifically targets cancer cells' genetic and molecular abnormalities. Immunotherapy that boosts the body's immune system to fight cancer. Hormone therapy for cancers that are driven by hormones, such as breast and prostate cancer.
