Many treatment options are available and are very well-tolerated. Practitioners generally apply single or combination mode of treatment based on following factors
1) Type of cancer
2) Stage of cancer
3) Location of cancer
4) Tumor size
5) Treatment history
6) Health status of patient 7) Presence of other diseases e.g. diabetes, heart issues

Chemotherapy:
This is commonly used therapy. This therapy uses drugs to destroy cancer cells. Chemotherapy is typically applied to treat tumor and to reduce adjacent cancer symptoms. Chemotherapy can be given via oral, intravenous, intramuscular, intrathecal, intraperitoneal, intraarterial or via topical route. Depending upon the disease condition, type of drug, type of combination drugs and doses are selected (1st, 2nd and 3rd line chemotherapy).

Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy uses radiation to kill and shrink tumors. Radiation therapy is generally combined with other treatment options. Types of radiation therapy include -External beam radiation -Internal beam radiation therapy

Immunotherapy
This therapy uses hormones and other drugs which work with immune system to treat cancer. Immunotherapy helps to boost performance of immune system to fight cancer. Many types of immunotherapy options are available like Immune checkpoint inhibitors, T-cell transfer therapy, Monoclonal antibodies, Treatment vaccines (to boost immune system’s response to cancer cells) and Immune system modulators. Immunotherapy is typically given via intravenous (IV), oral, topical and intravesical route.

Surgery
In this procedure surgeon removes cancer from body mechanically. This procedure is spread from few to several hours and needs hospital stay. Depending upon disease state, surgery could be open body or minimally invasive. Typically, surgical procedure is combined with many other treatment options.

Hormone Therapy
This therapy uses hormones to slows or arrest the growth of cancer. Hormone therapy is most often combined with other type of cancer treatments. It is given via oral and injection. Typically, it is used to treat breast and prostate cancers. Hormone therapy is based on two mechanisms -Therapy that blocks the body’s ability to produce hormones -Therapy that interferes with body hormone performance

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
This therapy uses a drug which is activated by light, called a photosensitizer or photosensitizing agent, to kill cancer cells. PDT is often used as a locally to treat specific part of body.

Stem Cell Transplant
This procedure aims to restore blood-forming stem cells in patients who already received high doses of chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Stem cells transplant is a complicated and costly procedure.

Targeted Therapy
This therapy uses newer drugs that block genes or proteins found in the cancer cells. Mechanism of action typically involves arresting cancer growth, killing cancerous cells, boosting immune response, or block the hormonal supply. Targeted therapies are based on -small-molecule drugs -monoclonal antibodies

Aerosolization Therapy
Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is an innovative approach used by surgeons to deliver chemotherapy into the peritoneal cavity as a pressurized normothermic aerosol. This therapy proved to be safe, cost effective and patient friendly. PIPAC can used alone or in combination either with standard chemotherapy, cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).

Vaccines:
There is no vaccine for cancer. But there are vaccines for some viruses that are known to cause liver, cervical, anal, throat, and penile cancers, e.g. human papillomavirus (HPV) and hepatitis B. These vaccines protects against the virus not from cancer.
