Neurological Cancer Therapies

Neurological cancer therapies are treatments designed to target tumors in the brain or spinal cord. These therapies include surgery to remove tumors, radiation therapy to kill cancer cells, and chemotherapy that uses drugs to stop cancer growth. More recent approaches involve targeted therapies that focus on specific genetic changes in cancer cells and immunotherapy that helps the body’s immune system fight the cancer. Clinical trials often explore new and innovative treatments to improve outcomes for patients. The goal is to effectively manage the cancer while minimizing damage to healthy brain tissue.
