Treatment of cancer.

Surgery, radiation therapy or chemotherapy are used to treat cancer. Apart from this, hormone therapy and immunotherapy are also done. Your doctor will determine which of these treatments is appropriate for you. Medicines and other treatments are also available to improve quality of life and reduce symptoms.

surgical treatment

In this treatment process, the abnormally growing part of the cells is removed. This process is also done by biopsy technique only. This procedure is usually done only if the tumor is in an area that is easily accessible.

non-surgical treatment

Chemotherapy procedure is used in this. In chemotherapy, abnormally growing cells are destroyed with the help of special types of drugs. Apart from this, radiotherapy is also included in non-surgical treatment, because with the help of gamma radiation, tumors or abnormally growing fat are destroyed.

Sometimes both surgical and non-surgical treatment procedures are used. First chemotherapy or radio therapy is done with the help of which the size of the tumor is reduced and then it is removed with the help of surgery. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are done again after surgery, so that the cancer does not spread to any nearby part.

There are also some other treatment procedures to cure cancer, such as hormone therapy, immunological treatment, bisphosphonates, etc. These treatment procedures are used only in special cases. For example, hormone therapy can be a good treatment option for prostate cancer.

Apart from this, some other medicines can also be given according to the symptoms caused by cancer. These drugs mainly contain pain relievers, antacids and antipyretic drugs. Sometimes, in severe cases, persistent pain can be reduced by just applying a patch of morphine or other painkillers. However, reducing the pain cannot stop the cancer from growing.
