These developments are helping patients achieve better outcomes with fewer complications.
Key Differences: Treatment Comparison
| Treatment | Main Purpose | Targeting Precision | Impact on Body |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-Surgical Therapies | Control tumour growth | Moderate to high | Focused and less invasive |
| Chemotherapy | Destroy rapidly dividing cells | Low (broad) | Systemic side effects |
| Targeted Therapy | Block cancer pathways | High | Drug-specific effects |
| Surgery | Remove tumour | Localised | Invasive recovery |
Each treatment has a specific role, and many patients benefit from a personalised combination approach.
