Advances in cancer care have created more effective and personalized treatment
options than ever before. Because every diagnosis is unique, treatment
often involves a coordinated, multi-specialty approach designed specifically for you.
At Salinas Valley Health, your care team considers your overall health,
the characteristics of your condition, and your individual preferences
to develop a treatment plan that is both effective and supportive of your
quality of life.
Treatment options may include:
Surgery – Surgery can remove affected tissue and may also be used to help
diagnose or better understand a condition. It is often combined with other
treatments to ensure comprehensive care.
Chemotherapy – Chemotherapy uses specialized medications to treat cancer throughout
the body. Today’s approaches include supportive therapies to help
manage side effects and improve comfort during treatment.
Radiation therapy – Radiation therapy delivers targeted energy to treat cancer in
specific areas. It is often used alongside other treatments to enhance
effectiveness.
Hormone therapy – Some cancers are influenced by hormones. Hormone therapy works
by blocking or reducing these hormones to slow or stop cancer growth.
Targeted therapy – Targeted therapies are designed to focus on specific cancer cells,
helping to limit impact on healthy tissue and support better overall tolerance.
Immunotherapy (Biological therapy) – Immunotherapy helps strengthen your body’s natural defenses,
enabling your immune system to better recognize and respond to cancer.
Stem cell transplant – In certain cases, stem cell therapy may be used to help restore
healthy cells and restore immune function.
