Cancer is a complex disease and usually requires a combination of treatments. Treatment may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy or a combination of two or more of these, depending on the type of cancer, the size of the tumor and the stage of the disease. Physicians, nurses and other cancer care team members work together to design a comprehensive plan that fits the treatment and quality of life needs for each individual. They also discuss available clinical trials for eligible patients, providing the best possible outcome for each person.
