Treatment of Cancer
Cancers can be treated in various ways depending on the type of cancer and how advanced the cancer is at diagnosis. Patients can be treated with a single treatment (monotherapy) or a combination of treatments. Common cancer treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapy, hormonal therapy, and immunotherapy.
