- Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is one of the most common cancer treatment options. It uses oral or intravenous (IV) drugs to reduce the spread of cancer cells. Chemo can also be paired with other cancer treatments.
- Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy — also known as targeted therapy — boosts an individual’s immune system and better identifies cancer cells in the body. This treatment can preserve the surrounding healthy cells in the process.
- Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy uses X-rays, gamma rays, and charged particles over the tumor or cancer area. The high doses of energy shrink and destroy the cancer over time.
- Hormone therapy: Hormone therapy is used when the present cancer is being fed by naturally occurring hormones in the body. This therapy works to limit hormone production to reduce cancer spread.
