SURGERY
• Prevention- resection of premalignant lesions
• Diagnosis- excisional biopsy, incisional biopsy, core-needle biopsy, fine-needle aspiration

SURGERY
• Staging- determining the extent of the disease and whether it has metastasized to regional lymph nodes

SURGERY - TREATMENT
• Most effective therapy• 40%• Complete excision• Local control of tumor• Preservation of organ function• Resection of metastatic disease• Staging information• Mastectomy, prostatectomy, lung cancer
surgery

SURGERY
• Palliation- supportive care, pain management, insertion of central venous catheters, ascites
• Rehabilitation- breast reconstruction, orthopedic procedures

RADIATION THERAPY
• Target tissue• Genetic material• Free radicals• Oxygen• X-rays and
gamma rays• Teletherapy,
brachytherapy, systemic therapy with radionuclides

TELETHERAPY
• External beam radiotherapy
• Linear accelerators
• Most commonly used form of radiation
• Breast, head and neck cancer, Hodgkin's disease

CHEMOTHERAPY
• Cytotoxic drugs• Rapidly dividing
cells• Alkylating agents• Antimetabolites• Plant alkaloids and
terpenoids• Topoisomerase
inhibitors• Antitumor
antibiotics• Hormonal agents

BIOLOGIC THERAPY
• Immune mediators• Antibodies• Cytokines• Angiogenesis
inhibitors
