Cancer is usually treated with surgery, chemotherapy or radiation, or a combination of the three. Depending on the location of the cancerous tumor, doctors may be able to perform an operation to remove it and the surrounding cells. Chemotherapy involves the oral or intravenous administration of drugs, while radiation uses high-energy waves to damage and destroy cancerous cells.
