Surgery<\/strong>
\nSurgery can be used to diagnose, treat, or even help prevent cancer in some cases. Most people with cancer will have some
\ntype of surgery. It often offers the greatest chance for cure, especially if the cancer has not spread to other parts of
\nthe body. Learn more about surgery here.<\/p>\n

Chemotherapy<\/strong>
\nChemotherapy (chemo) is the use of medicines or drugs to treat cancer. The thought of having chemotherapy frightens many
\npeople. But knowing what chemotherapy is, how it works, and what to expect can often help calm your fears. It can also
\ngive you a better sense of control over your cancer treatment.<\/p>\n

Radiation Therapy<\/strong>
\nRadiation therapy uses high-energy particles or waves to destroy or damage cancer cells. It is one of the most common
\ntreatments for cancer, either by itself or along with other forms of treatment. Learn more about radiation therapy in this
\nsection.<\/p>\n

Targeted Therapy<\/strong>
\nTargeted therapy is a newer type of cancer treatment that uses drugs or other substances to more precisely identify and
\nattack cancer cells, usually while doing little damage to normal cells. Targeted therapy is a growing part of many cancer
\ntreatment regimens. Find out more about it here.<\/p>\n

Immunotherapy<\/strong>
\nImmunotherapy is treatment that uses your body’s own immune system to help fight cancer. Get information about the
\ndifferent types of immunotherapy and the types of cancer they are used to treat.<\/p>\n

Hyperthermia<\/strong>
\nThe idea of using heat to treat cancer has been around for some time, but early attempts had mixed results. Today, newer
\ntools allow more precise delivery of heat, and hyperthermia is being studied for use against many types of cancer.
\nStem Cell Transplant (Peripheral Blood, Bone Marrow, and Cord Blood Transplants)
\nHere we offer a review of bone marrow transplants and other types of stem cell transplants that are used to treat cancer.
\nWe outline what a transplant is like for most people, and discuss some of the issues that come with it.<\/p>\n

Photodynamic Therapy<\/strong>
\nPhotodynamic therapy or PDT is a treatment that uses special drugs, called photosensitizing agents, along with light to
\nkill cancer cells. The drugs only work after they have been activated or “turned on” by certain kinds of light.<\/p>\n

Lasers in Cancer Treatment<\/strong>
\nLasers, which are very powerful, precise beams of light, can be used instead of blades (scalpels) for very careful
\nsurgical work, including treating some cancers.<\/p>\n

Blood Product Donation and Transfusion<\/strong>
\nTransfusions of blood and blood products temporarily replace parts of the blood when a person’s body can’t make its own or
\nhas lost them from bleeding. Here, we describe blood and its components and why they are important. We also explain how
\nblood is donated and transfused and how this relates to people with cancer.
