TREATMENTS
Cancer treatments
These pages explain treatment approaches in plain language. Whether one applies is decided in consultation.
Chemotherapy
Cancer medicines that damage dividing cells, planned around the diagnosis and blood counts.
Immunotherapy
Medicines that help the immune system recognise selected cancers.
Targeted Therapy
Medicines aimed at a specific driver of a cancer, usually after a matching test.
Precision Oncology
Using tumour biomarkers to narrow treatment choices without promising a match.
Oral Anticancer Therapy
Tablets and capsules used as chemotherapy or targeted treatment, with the same need for monitoring.
Maintenance Therapy
Longer, usually gentler treatment after an initial response, used only in defined situations.
Supportive Care
Treatment of symptoms and side effects alongside cancer therapy.
Palliative Care
Symptom control and support that can begin at any stage of cancer, not only at the end of life.
Hormonal Therapy
Medicines that block hormones some cancers use to grow, most often in breast and prostate cancer.
