For this part of our cancer discussion series, we are still looking at the cancer you chose in Discussion 9. However, we will be thinking about standard treatment options.
1) Staging: What do the stages of this cancer look like?
2) Surgery: When is it wise to perform surgery on someone who has this cancer. If the answer is ‘none’, then explain why not.
3) Radiation: What types of radiation are used to attack the cancer cells? Are there side effects of the radiation? If so, what are they?
4) Chemotherapy: Name one kind of chemotherapy used to get rid of the remaining cancer cells. How does it work? What are its side effects?
