Breast Cancer Treatment

Breast cancer treatment typically involves a combination of approaches, depending on the cancer's stage and characteristics. Common methods include surgery to remove the tumor, radiation therapy to target remaining cancer cells, and systemic treatments such as chemotherapy or hormone therapy to kill cancer cells or block their growth. Targeted therapy may also be used for specific cancer types. The treatment plan is personalized, considering factors like the cancer's type, stage, and the patient's overall health, with the goal of eliminating the cancer and minimizing side effects while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
