Cancer Treatment
There are many kinds of cancer treatment. The type of treatment you have depends on the type of cancer you have and how advanced it is. Some cancer patients have only one treatment. However, most people have a combination of treatments such as surgery by chemotherapy and / or radiotherapy. Immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or hormone therapy is also available.
Clinical trials may also be your choice. A clinical trial is a study involving people. Understanding what they are and how they are functioning will help you decide if participating in a trial is a good choice for you.
