Different methods are used to treat cancer. Surgery The cancerous cells in and around the area where the cancer is found are surgically removed. This type of treatment is given if the cancer is spread over a small area and is in the early stages. Radiotherapy involves the systematic application of radioactive rays to certain parts of the body to destroy the cells in that area. Chemotherapy In this system, anti-cancer (cytotoxic) drugs are used to destroy the cancer cells. There are more than 50 types of chemotherapy drugs. Some of these are taken as tablets or capsules. But in most cases these drugs are given directly to the blood with saline or in some other way. When mixed with blood, these drugs try to destroy the cancer cells wherever they are in the body. Hormone therapy This treatment is done by changing the levels of certain hormones in the body. Hormones have a relationship with body growth. Some cancers are affected by this hormone. As a result, hormone therapy is used to reduce the growth of cancer cells and bring cancer under control. Supportive treatment Physicians are now emphasizing the physical treatment of cancer as well as the mental treatment of patients. Patients go through a lot of emotional distress after being diagnosed with cancer , many of them even break down emotionally. Because of this, in many cases their condition is not serious but many die quickly. As a result, doctors advise them to provide different types of services and various organizations are working to provide such services in developed countries. One of these is to form a group of cancer patients , where they can share their experiences among themselves. Apart from this, patients are also taught to control their stress through yoga , meditation etc. In addition, they are encouraged to engage in religious or social activities for emotional relief. Other treatments strengthen the body's immune system. Research is now underway to develop such drugs. Efforts are also being made to develop a cancer vaccine. But these are still in their infancy. Cancer prevention studies have shown that regular adherence to certain things can greatly reduce the risk of cancer.
