  Chemotherapy uses certain medicines to kill cancer cells or slow their growth. People often use it by itself or with other cancer treatments.
• Immunotherapy
  Immunotherapy helps the immune system find and kill cancer cells more effectively, which makes it more likely that the disease will be better controlled.
• Targeted therapy:
  Targeted therapy works by changing specific things in cancer cells. This helps treat cancer more accurately and protects healthy cells from damage.
