What is Cancer Treatment?

Cancer treatment is planned after diagnosis, staging, pathology review, imaging, and tumour board discussion. Depending on the cancer type and stage, care may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, or palliative care.
