For how long are cancer treatments before stopping?

Varies: There a many variables which dictate the length of cancer treatments. Radiation treatments usually last for 4-6 weeks. Chemotherapies vary tremendously based on tumor type, response rates, and patient general condition. Your oncologist can better define your personal expectations. Good luck.
