Depends: Depending on the type of cancer some are responsive to chemotherapy and others are not. Sometimes radiation therapy can be helpful. Again, depends on the cancer. Best check with an oncologist for your options.

Depends: Every cancer is different and we are even learning that each tumor may act very different depending on its genetic makeup. For example we are learning genetic differences in breast tumors may help us predict who may respond to chemo and what type of chemo.
