			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The three types of the most common cancer treatment are surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Treatment aims to eliminate cancer cells or destroying them with drugs or by other means.</p>
<p>Here are the types of cancer treatment:</p>
<p><strong>Operation</strong><br />
<img src="http://www.kolumnis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/cancer_treatment_program_delaware.jpg" alt="cancer treatment program" title="cancer_treatment_program_delaware" width="100" height="95" class="alignright size-full wp-image-7" />Surgery is a physical way to eliminate cancer. Surgery can be successful in treating some cancers, but not an option in all cases. If cancer is in the form of malignant tumor (tumor spread), but this tumor is still in one place (local) it is possible to safely remove a tumor from each of the affected tissue around it. Surgery may not be possible if the cancer has spread to other areas of the body or if the tumor can not be removed without damaging vital organs like the liver or brain.<br />
Various types of surgery used to remove the cancer.</p>
<p><strong>Laser Surgery</strong><br />
Beam of light and sometimes the heat of the laser used to target and destroy cancer cells.</p>
<p><strong>Laparoscopic surgery</strong><br />
A very small incision is made in the body and the doctor uses a tiny camera to see inside your body. The camera sends a signal to a video screen so the doctor can see the organs of your tumor. Doctors use surgical instruments to remove the tumor.</p>
<p><strong>Mohs Surgery</strong><br />
Layer of cancer cells are removed one by one. Each layer is checked before the doctor removes the next layer. In this way, only the diseased layer is removed and the healthy tissue intact.</p>
<p><strong>Cryosurgery</strong><br />
Cancer cells are frozen and destroyed using a very cold material, such as liquid nitrogen.</p>
<p><strong>Radiotherapy</strong><br />
Radiotherapy uses radiation-in the form of a special type of X-rays, gamma rays or electrons to destroy cancer cells so that they can not breed. Usually there is no pain during this kind of therapy. Depending on the area being treated, the side effects of radiation damage to normal tissue can occur. Your doctor can tell you what to do. Radiotherapy is sometimes the only treatment necessary or using other therapies. Combination of surgery and radiotherapy may be used for tumors that grow in one place.</p>
<p><strong>Chemotherapy</strong><br />
Chemotherapy uses drugs to attack cancer cells. The word &#8220;chemotherapy&#8221; is sometimes caused a lot of fear because of side effects can be severe. However, not all people experience severe side effects. Side effects of chemotherapy can often be treated with other drugs. Chemotherapy is usually used when cancer has spread to other areas in the body. Chemotherapy can also be used in combination with surgery and radiation. Sometimes the tumor surgery and then chemotherapy is used to ensure that cancer cells remaining was killed.</p>
<p><strong>Other treatments</strong><br />
The other type of treatment is biological therapy (also called immunotherapy). This medication is used to trigger the immune system to produce white blood cells called lymphocytes (say: limf-o-sites). Two types of lymphocytes can attack and kill cancer cells: T-cell and B-cells. Immunotherapy aims to enhance the ability of T-cell lymphocytes and B-cells to kill cancer. This type of therapy can also be used in combination therapy with surgery, radiation or chemotherapy.</p>
<p>Hormone therapy is sometimes used to treat breast or prostate cancer, in addition to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Hormone therapy involves taking medicines that contain other hormones to block the effects of estrogen and testosterone and the hormone. These drugs are necessary because the hormone estrogen can make breast cancer tumors grow faster. Similarly, the hormone testosterone can make prostate cancer tumors grow faster. In other cases, surgery to remove the ovaries or testes may be used. Removing these organs reduces the amount of estrogen or testosterone in the body. Special care may be available.</p>
<p>That is a cancer treatment program options. Hope it helps.</p>
