Cancer Treatment Options
A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, but there are now options. Your oncologist may suggest one or more of these therapies.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy (or chemo) is a drug, or combination of drugs, that kills cancer cells. It can be taken orally as a pill or liquid, or as an injection. The most common delivery method is an IV. Chemo can be received in a hospital or outpatient setting. Your doctor may prescribe chemo before or after surgery. Talk to your doctor about potential side effects.
Radiation therapy
Radiation, also called radiation oncology, destroys cancer with high-energy x-rays. It works best on cancer cells that are splitting very quickly. It impairs the cancer cell’s DNA, so that it cannot grow or divide.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy boosts the patient’s immune system. Antibodies are made in a lab and then introduced to the patient’s system. They target the cancer cells and kill them. Immunotherapy is also a means of conveying poisons straight to cancer cells.

Photodynamic therapy
Photodynamic therapy uses drugs and light to kill cancer cells.
Anti-angiogenesis therapy
Tumors need a blood supply to survive. Anti- angiogenesis stops a tumor from making new blood vessels (сосуды), so that it cannot grow.

CANCER TREATMENT OPTIONS
It can be very frightening to be diagnosed with cancer. Fortunately, today there are many treatment options available. Your oncologist may suggest one or more of these therapies.
Chemotherary - Chemotherary (or chemo) is a drug, or combination of drugs, that kills cancer cells. It can be taken orally, though the most common delivery method is through an IV injection. Chemo can be received in a hospital or outpatient setting. Your doctor may prescribe chemotherapy before or after surgery. Potential side effects include hair loss, fatigue, and damage to specific organs.
Radiation therapy - Radiation therapy, also called radiation oncology, destroys cancer cells with high-energy x-rays. It works best on cancer cells that are splitting very rapidly. It impairs a cancer cell`s DNA, so that it cannot grow or divide.
Immunotherapy - immunotherapy strengthens the patient`s immune system. New antibodies are introduced to the patient`s system. They target cancer cells and destroy them.
Photodynamic therapy - In photodynamic therapy, patients are given a light-sensitive drug containing cancer-destroying substances. Light beams then activate the drug, which has been absorbed by cancer cells.
Anti-angiogenesis therapy- Like normal cells, tumors need a blood supply to survive. Anti-angiogenesis therapy prevents a tumor from making new blood vessels, so that it cannot grow larger.
