• Surgery
Surgery is the oldest type of treatment for cancer. It is also used in detecting and finding the degree of cancer. Improvements in surgical practices have permitted surgeons to successfully operate on an increasing amount of patients. Less invasive operations are frequently done to eliminate tumors while maintaining as much normal function as possible. Surgery offers the most possibility for elimination for many types of cancer, particularly those that have not yet expanded to other parts of the body. The majority of people with cancer will have some sort of surgery.

• Radiation Therapy
Doctors have tried to find ways to utilize radiation to cure cancer ever since the discovery of x-rays by Roentgen and radioactivity by The Curies about 100 years back. Developments in technology have made radiation treatment a key element in cancer treatment. About half of cancer patients will be given radiation during their treatment.

• Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy meant the use of any medication for treatment of any disease. Today, Chemotherapy is used to stand for taking medicines, or drugs, to treat cancer. The drugs might be taken before or after surgery, with or without radiation therapy. Cancer chemotherapy is has been in use since the 1950s. The chemotherapy drugs your doctor proposes have been tested thoroughly. To a degree, many cancer survivors live full and happy lives because of chemotherapy.
