Cancer is diagnosed through a combination of tests, including imaging scans (like CT, MRI, or PET), blood tests, and biopsies. These diagnostic tools help our oncologists determine the presence, type, and stage of cancer, enabling them to develop a personalized treatment plan.
The most common cancer treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. The choice of treatment depends on the type of cancer, its stage, and the patient’s overall health. Often, a combination of treatments is used to achieve the best results.
Immunotherapy is a form of treatment that helps the body’s immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. It is often used for cancers that don’t respond well to traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. Immunotherapy can be particularly effective in treating certain types of cancer, such as melanoma, lung cancer, and some forms of lymphoma.
Whether cancer can be cured depends on the type, stage, and location of the cancer, as well as how early it is detected. Many cancers are treatable and can be cured, especially when caught early. Even in cases where a cure isn’t possible, advanced treatments can often manage the disease and improve the patient’s quality of life.
