Surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy alone or in combination are the most-common methods used to treat cancer. Specific treatment varies depending on the kind of cancer, the extent of the disease, its rate of progression, and the condition of the person. Surgery alone may not result in a cure and often chemotherapy and/or radiation are needed after surgery. Learn all about surgery and the guidelines your doctor will be following for your treatment.
