• Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is one of the most preferred therapeutic approaches recommended for individuals battling cancer. This non-surgical intervention involves the administration of a combination of medications to target and destroy cancerous cells and tissues. While chemotherapy may not always result in the complete elimination of tumors, its efficacy lies in effectively alleviating symptoms and slowing down the advancement of cancer. Depending on your specific case, our experts might suggest chemotherapy as the primary treatment option or in combination with other interventions.
• Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment in which the patient’s immune system is harnessed to make it strong enough to fight and destroy malignant cells. This is done by administering the immunotherapy orally, intravenously, subcutaneously or intramuscularly.  The procedure can be used against a variety of different cancers and can be of several different types, which include non-specific immunotherapies, oncolytic virus therapy, T-cell therapy, cancer vaccines and monoclonal antibodies & immune checkpoint inhibitors. 
• Radiation Therapy:  Radiation therapy, often referred to as radiotherapy, is a highly effective cancer treatment option that involves the use of high-intensity radiation, delivered internally or externally, to destroy the cancer cells with a more targeted approach. It may be recommended as a curative treatment for localized cancers or may be incorporated into your treatment regimen as adjuvant therapy, to lower the likelihood of cancer recurrence and non-adjuvant therapy, to shrink the tumor, making it possible to remove the same more easily and efficiently.
• Hormonal Therapy: Hormone therapy is a non-invasive treatment option for individuals with breast cancer and prostate cancer, as both are reliant on specific hormones for their growth and development. It may also be used for the management of other types of cancer, including thyroid cancer, adrenal cancer, and uterine cancer. The therapy works by administering hormones that impede the growth of cancer cells as well as by blocking the production of those supporting their development. It may be recommended for either treating cancer or alleviating symptoms for palliative purposes. 
• Targeted Therapy: The treatment aims at precisely targeting the aberrant genes and proteins that are responsible for the uncontrolled growth of cancerous cells. In the majority of the cases, doctors use small-molecule drugs or monoclonal antibodies. The former are so small that they can enter the cancerous cells and destroy them from within. The latter is often referred to as therapeutic antibodies. These stick to the cancerous cells and prevent them from growing.
