Abstract

Yu Chang*

Anticancer therapy refers to the various treatments used to treat cancer. The goal of anticancer therapy is to eliminate cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy cells. Cancer treatment may involve a combination of different therapies, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, hormonal therapy and stem cell transplant. Each of these treatments has its own benefits and drawbacks and the choice of treatment depends on the type and stage of cancer, as well as the overall health of the patient. Surgery is a common treatment for many types of cancer. The goal of surgery is to remove the cancerous tumor from the body. The surgery may be performed using a traditional open incision or minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic or robotic surgery. Surgery is often combined with other treatments such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy to ensure that all cancer cells are eliminated.
