Cancer treatment refers to the various medical interventions and strategies used to manage and combat cancer, a disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. The term encompasses a wide range of therapeutic options aimed at eliminating cancer cells, controlling their growth, and alleviating symptoms. Common modalities of cancer treatment include surgery, where cancerous tissues are physically removed; radiation therapy, which uses high-energy radiation to target and kill cancer cells; and chemotherapy, a systemic treatment involving drugs that impede the growth and reproduction of cancer cells.
In addition to these primary treatments, cancer management may also involve targeted therapy, which focuses on specific molecular targets associated with cancer, immunotherapy that boosts the body’s immune system to fight cancer, and hormone therapy that interferes with hormonal signals fueling certain cancers. Supportive care and palliative measures may also be integral parts of treatment strategies to enhance the quality of life for patients. Cancer treatment plans are tailored to individual patient needs, taking into account factors such as the type and stage of cancer, overall health, and personal preferences. Early detection and advancements in research have significantly improved treatment outcomes and survival rates for many types of cancer.
