A member asked:
Other than chemo and radiation, what about a surgical possibility for cancer treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure!: Surgery is the pilar of therapy for many cancers, often assisted by chemo or radiation. Other times is of no use at all. Depends on the cancer and the particular situation.
