Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is the treatment of cancer with ionizing radiation or x-rays that are stronger to destroy or damage malignant cells. This is a common course of treatment for cancer patients and can effectively treat many types of cancer. In some cases, it may be used in combination with surgery and chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy (Medical Oncology)
Chemotherapy is the use of anti-cancer drugs to treat cancerous cells that have spread (metastasized) to other parts of the body. It is a systemic (whole body) treatment, meaning it enters the body and travels through the body to kill cancer cells.

Biological Therapy/Immunotherapy
The goal of biotherapy is to boost or restore the body’s immune system to enable it to fight cancer or infections. Biotherapy is also used to lessen the side effects of some cancer treatments. Agents used in biotherapy include monoclonal antibodies, growth factors, and vaccines. These agents may also have a direct antitumor effect.
Surgical Treatment
This therapy involves surgical treatment of cancer, including biopsy, tumor staging and tumor resection (removal).
