Schedule Consideration in Cancer Treatment

There are several types of cancer treatment modalities, such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, in which the choice of the best therapeutic option will depend on several factors such as type of tumor, stage of cancer, age, and clinical conditions of the patients. Due to the complexity of cancer, the association of therapeutic modalities has been shown to be effective, such as the application of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy after surgical procedures or the association of chemotherapy that enhance the effects of radiotherapy.
