The best treatment for your particular type of cancer will depend on many factors, including its severity and stage at diagnosis, as well as any other health conditions you may have. Generally, the first step in treating most cancers is to undergo surgery to remove the tumor or affected tissue. Depending on the type of cancer, additional therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, or targeted therapy may be used to help treat it. It's important to discuss your specific situation with your doctor to determine the best course of treatment for you.
