Cancer Treatment

Cancer treatment refers to the medical approaches and therapies used to manage and eliminate cancer cells in patients. Treatments can vary significantly depending on the type and stage of cancer and may include a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy. The goal of cancer treatment can be curative, to eliminate cancer completely, or palliative, to relieve symptoms and enhance quality of life without necessarily aiming for a cure. Each treatment type may affect the body differently, and treatment plans are tailored to each individual’s specific condition, considering factors like the cancer’s characteristics, the patient’s overall health, and personal preferences.
