Cancer

Treatment of Cancer
Today, cancer is treated with a variety of methods including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and biological therapy. Your doctor may use one method or a combination of methods. The choice of treatment depends on the type and location of the cancer, whether the disease has spread, the patient’s age and general health, and other factors.

Many cancer patients take part in clinical trials (research studies) testing new treatment methods. Such studies are designed to improve cancer treatment.
