Cancer treatment encompasses a variety of approaches aimed at eliminating cancer cells, managing symptoms, and improving the quality of life for patients. The main types of treatment include surgery, which involves the removal of tumors; radiation therapy, which uses high-energy particles to destroy cancer cells; and chemotherapy, a systemic treatment that targets rapidly dividing cells. Additionally, targeted therapies and immunotherapies have emerged as innovative options, focusing on specific molecular targets or enhancing the body’s immune response against cancer. The choice of treatment depends on the cancer type, stage, and individual patient factors, emphasizing the need for personalized treatment plans to achieve the best outcomes.
