The Various Treatments Offered by
Oncologists There are a variety of cancer
treatments available, and the best course of
treatment depends on the type and stage of the
cancer. The most common cancer treatments are
surgery, radiation therapy, CLL treatment and
chemotherapy. Surgery is the most common type of
cancer treatment. Surgery can be used to remove
the cancerous tumour, as well as surrounding
healthy tissue and lymph nodes. Surgery may also
be used to Biopsy tissue to determine if it is
cancerous. Radiation therapy uses high-energy
beams, such as X-rays, to kill cancer cells.
Radiation therapy can be administered externally
by a machine or internally by placing radioactive
material directly into the tumour. CLL treatment
stands for Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
treatment. Some of the most common types of CLL
treatment include the use of Bruton's tyrosine
kinase (BTK) inhibitors, B cell lymphoma 2
(BCL-2) inhibitors, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase
(PI3K) inhibitors. Chemotherapy is the use of
drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy can be
given intravenously or orally in the form of a
pill. Chemotherapy can be used alone or in
combination with other cancer treatments, such as
surgery or radiation therapy.
