Treatments
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is the use of various drugs which can be given orally, or intravenously, to treat tumours. They destroy cells from within and attack rapidly growing cells.
Inmunotherapy
Immunotherapy stimulates the patient’s immune system to enable its own immune cells to destroy tumour cells.
Targeted therapy
Targeted therapy interferes in specific abnormalities present in tumour cells, this enables these drugs to act much more precisely than classic chemotherapy.
Sugery
Surgery may be diagnostic, obtaining a biopsy to establish the tumour histology. Surgery may also be curative, or in some cases palliative to alleviate tumour-related symptoms.
Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy is a local treatment, only affecting the part of the body where radiation is applied, with the aim of destroying cancer cells and preventing their growth and reproduction.
Hormono therapy
Hormone therapy involves the use of drugs to modify hormones (preventing synthesis or altering their effect on certain cells) to stop the growth of certain cancers.
