Cancer is not always treated with surgery alone. Oncologists explain that treatment depends on the type, stage, location, and spread of the disease, along with the patient’s overall health. While surgery may help remove tumors in many cases, other treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy can also play major roles.
Some cancers are managed primarily with medicines or radiation instead of surgery. Early diagnosis often improves treatment options and outcomes. Experts emphasize that personalized treatment plans are important because every cancer behaves differently and requires an individualized approach to care and recovery.
