 * Surgery:** is used very often to deal with cancer because you can easily physically remove the tumor with having to zap it with radiation or chemotherapy, and also it is the oldest and most efficient way of getting ride of the tumor. Most of the time surgery is enough for the cancer to go away but most of the time doctors like to do either some radiation therapy or chemotherapy just to be sure that thy didn't leave any remaining cancer cells behind.
 * Radiation therapy**: radiation causes cell cycle shutdown and disruption in the chromosomes which is why they use radiation on the site of the tumor in hopes thats that happens to cancer cells. the way that this procedure works is by either shooting gamma or X-rays at the the tumor, and those ray can either come from an external ray gun or by implanting localized internal radiation sources within the body. the side effects of this are usually dry and irritated skin, blistering burns,fatigue, and hair loss at treatment site.
 * Chemotherapy**: is different from radiation therapy in that it is not just focused in one small area of the body and it spreads throughout the entire. chemotherapy is aimed at damaging the cancer cells DNA and interfering with DNA synthesis. their are many different types of chemotherapies components for different types of cancer, these drugs include Alkylating agents, Antimetobolites, Antitumor Antibiotics, Mitotic inhibitors, Nitrosoureas. these drugs do things such as inhibit enzymes that repair DNA or interfere with the growth of cancer cells by blocking DNA replication.[[image:chemo1.jpg]]
