Cancer Treatment

Overview

There are many types of cancer treatment. The types of treatment will depend on the type of cancer and how advanced it is. Some people with cancer will have only one treatment. But most people have a combination of treatments, such as surgery with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Besides, some patients may also have immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or hormone therapy.

Clinical trials might also be an option. Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. Understanding what they are and how they work can help patients decide if taking part in a trial is a good option.
