Treatment of breat cancer:
- lumpectomy 【the tumor and a small amount of the surrongding tissue are removed】
- mastectomy 【all or part of the breast is removed】
Surgery may be combined with chemotherapy, radiation therapy (uses high-energy rays to shrink or kill remaining cells), or hormone therapy (uses estrogen-blocking drugs to help prevent cancer from coming back), If chemotherapy is used before surgery, its purpose is to shrink the tumor.
Treatment of prostate cancer:
- radical prostatectomy 【the prostate gland and some of the tissue around it are removed】
- transurethral resection 【cuts out cancerous tissue】
- orchiectomy 【removes the testicles or through hormone reducing or blocking drugs】
