Kinds of Cancer Treatment:
Surgery
- Open or Minimally Invasive
- Used to:
- Remove the entire tumor Brain and Spinal Cord Cancer
- Debulk a tumor (cytoreduction)

Radiation Therapy
- Uses radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors
- Damages the DNA of cancer cells which stops their growth
Chemotherapy
- Uses drugs to kill the cancer cells
- Systemic Treatment
- Targets cells that are about to undergo cell division
