Three Tools: Breast cancer treatment centers on 3 basic modes of attack: surgery-removal of the cancer from its site of origin is often the first rx; chemotherapy-medication that circulates throughout the body to kill any cancer cells that may have travelled outside the organ of origin; radiation therapy-focused rx to kill cancer cells in/near organ of origin that may not have been removed by surgery.
