Cancer Treatment

Planning cancer treatment can take time and you should talk to your doctor about how long you can expect to wait until treatment starts. It's important to learn about all your treatment options to make the decision that is best for your situation.

Breast Cancer Treatment

Most women undergo surgery for breast cancer and many also receive additional treatment after surgery, such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy or radiation.

Colon Cancer Treatment

Colon cancer treatment usually involves surgery to remove the cancer. Treatment for colon cancer is based largely on the stage (extent) of the cancer, but other factors can also be important

Stomach Cancer Treatment

Different types of treatments are available for stomach cancer. Surgery is a common treatment for stomach cancer. The type of surgery depends on where the cancer is located.  

Kidney Cancer Treatment

Kidney cancer treatment usually begins with surgery to remove the cancer. For cancers confined to the kidney, this may be the only treatment needed.

Pancreatic Cancer Treatment

Treatment for pancreatic cancer depends on the stage of the cancer and the location. Pancreatic cancer treatments may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or a combination of these

Liver Cancer Treatment

Liver cancer is often treatable, but it can be difficult to treat. It may include surgery, chemotherapy, using heat to destroy the cancer, targeted medicines, and radiotherapy.

Lung Cancer Treatment

The two main types of lung cancer are small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. These categories refer to what the cancer cells look like under a microscope. Non-small cell lung cancer is more common than small cell lung cancer.

Bladder Cancer Treatment

Bladder cancers are further classified based on how the cancer cells appear when viewed through a microscope. The treatment options for bladder cancer largely depend on how advanced the cancer is.

Brain Cancer Treatment

The main treatments for brain tumours are surgery and radiotherapy. Some people might have chemotherapy. A brain tumor's grade is assigned when the tumor cells are tested in a lab. The grades range from 1 to 4.

Leukemia Treatment

Doctors may find chronic leukemia in a routine blood test, before symptoms begin. A diagnosis of leukemia may be devastating — especially for the family of a newly diagnosed child.

Skin Cancer Treatment

The skin is the body’s largest organ. Skin cancer can occur anywhere on the body, but it is most common in skin that is often exposed to sunlight, such as the face, neck, and hands.
