What Standard Treatments Do

Here is what the standard cancer treatments are designed to do:

  • Surgery takes out the cancer.
  • Hormone therapy keeps cancer cells from getting the hormones they need to survive and grow.
  • Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.
  • Chemotherapy uses anti-cancer drugs to kill cancer cells.
