Cancer Treatments

Cancer is a group of diseases including strange cell development with the possibility to attack or spread to different parts of the body. There are various kinds of cancer treatment. The sorts of treatment that you get will rely upon the kind of tumor you have and how advanced it is. A few people with tumor will have just a single treatment. Be that as it may, a great many people have a mix of treatments, for example, surgery with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. When you require treatment for disease, you have a long way to go and consider. It is typical to feel overpowered and confounded. In any case, conversing with your specialist and finding out about the sorts of treatment you may have can enable you to feel more in charge.

1.Surgery

Surgery is one of the cancer treatment methods, in which surgeon removes cancer from your body. It completely removes the tumour or cancerous tissue from a specific place in the body. Surgery is most effective at completely removing cancer that is at an early stage, is only in the place where it started (localized) and hasn’t spread to other parts of the body.

2.Radiation therapy

Radiationtherapy (also called radiotherapy) is a cancer treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. At low doses, radiation is used as an x-ray to see inside your body and take pictures, such as x-rays of your teeth or broken bones.

3.Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is the treatment of cancer by means of chemicals that kill cancer cells. These “anti-cancer” drugs destroy cancer cells by stopping their growth and reproduction. Unfortunately, normal healthy cells are also affected, and this causes the well-known side effects of chemotherapy. The normal healthy cells have an organised cell structure and repair mechanisms in place. This results in them being able to reproduce new normal tissue after chemotherapy.

4.Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is treatment that uses certain parts of a person’s immune system to fight diseases such as cancer. This can be done in a couple of ways: Stimulating your own immune system to work harder or smarter to attack cancer cells. Giving you immune system components, such as man-made immune system proteins. Some types of immunotherapy are also sometimes called biologic therapy or biotherapy.

5.Hormone therapy

Hormone therapy works by either stopping your brain from telling your body to make testosterone or stopping testosterone from reaching the cancer cells. Prostate cancer cells usually need the hormone testosterone to grow.

6. Stem cell transplants

Stem celltransplants, including peripheral blood, bone marrow, and cord bloodtransplants, can be used to treat cancer. Stem cell transplants are most often used for cancers affecting the blood or immune system, such as leukemia, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma.
