1 Introduction to Cancer Treatment Understanding the Basics This page lists the different cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. An official website of the United States government provides comprehensive cancer information. NCI's Web site offers accurate, up-to-date cancer information from the U.S. government's principal agency for cancer research. For questions, contact NCI's LiveHelp instant messaging service or call the NCI's Contact Center. Photo by Pexels
2 Types of Cancer Treatment Exploring Different Methods Biomarker testing helps in determining the most effective cancer treatment for individual patients. Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing. Hormone therapy removes or blocks hormones to stop cancer cells from growing. Hyperthermia involves heating body tissues to damage and kill cancer cells. Photo by Pexels
3 Advanced Cancer Treatments Innovative Approaches Immunotherapy boosts the body's natural defenses to fight cancer. This therapy uses light and a photosensitizing agent to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy particles to destroy cancer cells. Stem cell transplant replaces damaged blood-forming cells with healthy ones. Photo by Pexels
4 Surgical and Targeted Approaches Precision in Treatment Surgeryinvolves removing cancer from the body. Targeted therapy uses drugs to target specific cancer cells without affecting normal cells. Managing side effects is crucial for improving the quality of life during treatment. CAM includes non-mainstream practices used alongside conventional medicine. Photo by Pexels
5 Conclusion and Resources Empowering Patients Patients should ask questions about their treatment options and side effects. A comprehensive list of cancer drugs is available for reference. NCI provides support and guidance for cancer patients and their families. Staying informed about the latest treatments and research is essential for patients. Photo by Pexels
