oncology therapeutics

Oncology therapeutics are treatments designed to fight cancer. They include methods such as surgery to remove tumors, radiation to destroy cancer cells, chemotherapy using drugs that kill or slow cancer growth, targeted therapies that attack specific cancer characteristics, immunotherapy to boost the immune system’s ability to fight cancer, and hormonal therapies that block hormones fueling certain cancers. These treatments may be used alone or together, tailored to each patient’s type and stage of cancer. Advances in oncology therapeutics continue to improve survival rates and reduce side effects, helping patients manage or potentially overcome their disease.
