Can tumors be cured?

If you suffer from a tumor, you must pay attention to understanding effective treatments, and the tumor must be discovered as early as possible and treatment measures must be taken as early as possible. As for whether the tumor can be cured, it depends on the actual situation. Common treatments now include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

1. Surgical treatment: It is the most important and preferred method for treating most tumors. Many cancers can be cured or life prolonged through surgical resection. Surgical treatment is particularly suitable for patients with early-stage cancer and is also of great help to patients in the middle and late stages.

2. Radiotherapy: It is a method of treating tumors using rays produced by a treatment machine or isotopes. It is a local treatment method, and its main functions include preventing tumor recurrence, radical cure of tumor (such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma), combined with surgery to preserve organs (such as breast cancer), and palliative treatment.

3. Chemotherapy: refers to the method of using chemical drugs to kill tumors. It is a systemic treatment, mainly used for tumors that have an obvious tendency to spread and whose recurrence and metastasis cannot be prevented by local treatments such as surgery and (radiotherapy).

4. Biological therapy: refers to the use of a class of biological products to mobilize the patient's own anti-cancer ability, inhibit and kill cancer cells by enhancing the body's inherent anti-cancer mechanism, thereby achieving the purpose of treating tumors. It is one of the auxiliary means of tumor treatment.

5. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: Its functions include improving the patient's immune function, improving the body's metabolism, and reducing the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It is an important auxiliary means of tumor treatment.
