What is the best treatment for cancer?

Answer 1

Your doctor will discuss with you the course of action to take after diagnosing the type of cancer you have, the stage of progression, and other factors. These days, cyberknife treatment, an advanced technology which delivers concentrated beams of focused radiation on cancer cells, is one of the best options to kill cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. The treatment itself does not require an incision, there is no blood loss, and it does not require you to go under anesthesia. Recovery time is quick and each treatment is 1 to 2 hours. Most are able to resume regular activities after the treatment. This kind of treatment was once limited to cancers which were inaccessible/un-operable, but these days it is used on cancers of the prostate, pancreas, lung, breast, liver, brain and spine.

Answer 2

The most effective treatment of cancer is to remove the tumour!

For most cancers, this means surgery. But also cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy or other localized treatments could erradicate the tumour - depending on the tumour type and localisation.

For some cancers, systemic therapy may be more appropriate - for example chemotherapy in treatment of leukemia.

Herbs and homeopathy treatments should not be taken at the same time as undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy, as these alternative treatments might interfere with the conventional treatment and reduce your chances of survival and cure. If you consider alternative treatments an option, then please wait til after you've finished conventional treatment for your cancer!

Answer 3

This is a highly contentious issue, and there are new and very effective preventative measures being invented all the time, but currently the most effective treatements for cancer are (in order of preference);

1. Surgical excision of cancerous growth(s).

2. Chemotherapy to prohibit or reverse growth of cancerous cells.

3. Radiotherapy to elminate cancerous growths.

Answer 4

The best treatment for cancer depends upon the state of health of the patient, the stage of the cancer and the location and/or type of cancer. Depending upon these specifications, cancer may be treated with chemotherapy, surgery, immunotherapy and radiation therapy. There may also be some experimental treatment options available.

Answer 5

There are a vast array of different treatments that are suitable for different cancers. For example, chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery provide different risks and benefits depending on the particular situation. An oncologist is responsible for making this determination.

Answer 6

The most effective treatment depends on what stage the cancer is at. In the early stages, surgery would be the most likely treatment; along with radiation in many cases. In later stages, drug and hormone treatments would be used depending the the person in question and whet is best for them.

Answer 7

There is no "best" treatment.

The treatment available depends on the type of cancer, the progression or stage of the cancer and the age or stability of the patient.

The most common treatment is chemotherapy.

Surgery can also treat some tumorous cancers.
