How Is Cancer Treated?
Cancer therapy usually involves a combination of different approaches including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The treatment is individualized and encompasses the cancer type, the extent of the cancer and patient preferences. Recently, many new and innovative treatments have been approved for cancer therapy. In addition, you may be a candidate for participation in clinical trials that are designed to find newer and frequently, better, treatments for different cancer types. Ask your cancer provider if you are a candidate for a clinical trial.
