Cancer Therapy

Cancer therapy refers to the various treatments and methods used to combat cancer, a disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body. The goal of cancer therapy is to eliminate cancerous cells, shrink tumors, and manage symptoms to improve the patient’s quality of life. Common types of cancer therapies include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy. These approaches may be used alone or in combination, depending on the type of cancer, its stage, and the overall health of the patient. Cancer therapy can also include supportive treatments aimed at relieving side effects and improving overall well-being. The field is continually evolving, with ongoing research leading to new and more effective treatment options.
