kórkezelések

Kórkezelések, which translates to "cancer treatments" in English, refers to the various medical interventions used to combat malignant tumors. These treatments aim to destroy cancer cells, slow their growth, or alleviate symptoms associated with the disease. The choice of kórkezelés depends on several factors, including the type and stage of cancer, the patient's overall health, and their personal preferences.

Commonly employed kórkezelések include sebészet (surgery), which involves physically removing cancerous tissue. Sugárterápia (radiotherapy) uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells or shrink tumors. Kemoterápia (chemotherapy) employs drugs to kill cancer cells throughout the body. Célzott terápia (targeted therapy) focuses on specific abnormalities within cancer cells that promote their growth and survival. Immunoterápia (immunotherapy) harnesses the patient's own immune system to fight cancer. Hormonális terápia (hormone therapy) is used for cancers that rely on hormones to grow, such as certain types of breast and prostate cancer.

Often, a combination of these treatments is used to achieve the best possible outcome, a strategy known as multimodális kezelés (multimodal treatment). The development of new and more effective kórkezelések is an ongoing area of medical research, with a constant focus on improving patient survival rates and quality of life.
