Cancer is complex and a multi-disciplinary team personalises each treatment strategy. A brief overview of the treatment options include: 

Surgery: best for localized tumours.

Chemotherapy : Using drugs to kill fast-growing cancer cells throughout the body.

Radiation Therapy: High doses of radiation to target and shrink tumours. Lower doses can be used to control tumour cells and/or help with symptoms being caused by cancer

Immunotherapy​: Boosts your immune system to attack cancer cells better.

Targeted Therapy: Focuses on the genes or proteins that help cancer grow.

Hormone Therapy: Blocks cancer’s ability to use the body’s hormones to grow.

Stem Cell Transplant​: Restores healthy blood cells after aggressive treatment like chemotherapy or radiation.

Clinical Trials: Testing new treatments—be part of the future of cancer care!

 

A combination of different treatments are often used depending on the type of cancer and stage. Always consult your doctor to find the best path for YOU.
