Cancer treatment encompasses various approaches aimed at eradicating or managing cancerous cells. Common treatments include surgery to remove tumors, chemotherapy using drugs to kill cancer cells, radiation therapy to target and destroy cancer cells with high-energy rays, and targeted therapy focusing on specific molecules involved in cancer growth. Immunotherapy boosts the body's immune system to fight cancer, while hormone therapy alters hormone levels to slow cancer growth. Personalized medicine tailors treatments based on genetic factors. Emerging treatments like CAR T-cell therapy genetically engineer immune cells to attack cancer. Treatment plans often combine these approaches for optimal outcomes.
