Patient care
When the diagnosis is cancer
The treatment of cancer usually involves surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these methods.
An overview for patients
Radiation, used at high doses, causes changes that stop a cancer cell’s ability to multiply, eventually killing the cell.
Determining the best approach
Cancer treatment may vary depending upon the type of cancer, the stage of cancer, and the goal of treatment.
