Varied: A number of different approaches used depending on the nature of the tumor and the extent of spread. The main goal for solid tumors is reducing tumor mass preferably by surgery. Radiation is next employed especially if the mass is lymphoid Then chemo is utilized. The smaller the mass is at the time of systemic therapy the better the response. Some metastatic lesions respond to immunochemo.
