Not sure what you mean by a coombination of methods.. but if you are asking what are options for cancer that has spread to somewhere else OTHER than just in the tumor...

Then.. for Breast cancer... step 1 is to remove the tumor (or in some cases shrink it before removal).

Tumor is then sent to pathology to determine if the margins are clear... meaning has the cancer spread beyond the tumor.

Then options are... radiation to kill any remaining cells if the cancer has not spread.

If the cancer has spread then Chemo is generally used.

Of course depending on the size and number of tumors there is also masectomy.

Depending on the type of cancer, history in family, age, etc.. there is also then medication that can be taken for 5 years after.
