ABSTRACT
A substantial worldwide health burden is posed by cancer, a group of diseases marked by unchecked cell proliferation and metastasis to other body parts. Every organ and tissue it affects has a different pathophysiological process and clinical manifestation. To treat and manage cancer, a variety of conventional therapy techniques are available. However, as tumor cure accounts for more than 60% of all ongoing experimental trials worldwide, new cancer treatment alternatives are constantly being investigated. The type of cancer, the tumor's location, and its stage of advancement all affect how well a treatment works. Among the most common and conventional forms of treatment include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, radiation-based surgical instruments, and surgery. Modern techniques include stem cell therapies, dendritic cell-based immunotherapy, hormone-based therapy, and anti-angiogenic modalities. The various conventional and innovative treatment approaches for various cancer kinds are covered in this review.
