Rákkkezelés

Rákkkezelés refers to the various medical interventions used to treat cancer. The primary goals of rákkkezelés are to cure the cancer, control its growth and spread, or alleviate symptoms and improve the patient's quality of life. The specific type of rákkkezelés employed depends on numerous factors, including the type of cancer, its stage, the patient's overall health, and their personal preferences.

Common modalities of rákkkezelés include surgery, which involves the physical removal of cancerous tissue. Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells throughout the body. Radiation therapy, or radiotherapy, utilizes high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells or shrink tumors. Immunotherapy harnesses the body's own immune system to fight cancer. Targeted therapy focuses on specific molecules involved in cancer growth. Hormone therapy is used for cancers that are sensitive to hormones.

Often, a combination of these treatments, known as multimodal rákkkezelés, is used to achieve the best possible outcome. The development and application of rákkkezelés are ongoing fields of research, with continuous efforts to discover more effective and less toxic treatments. Patients undergoing rákkkezelés are typically managed by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals.
