There are no reasons why cancer cannot be cured and defeated if diagnosed well. There are several medications to ensure all tumor cells are destroyed before they cannot be controlled. The several treatments are the following procedures:

Surgery

Surgical procedures are used in cases wherein the cancer cells are removed but not harming the duties of the organs that are affected to a great degree. Many kinds of breast cancer, cancer in the stomach, colon cancer, and others are treated by taking out the portion affected and use chemotherapy or radiation to destroy any cancer cells that loiter surrounding the tumor.

But, the surgeon will put into consideration the case of the patient through examination of all treatments that can be used for cancer and will select surgical operation only when it suits physically to the patient's condition.

Radiation

Radiation stops the tumor cells from further multiplication and reduces the pain in some kinds of cancer. After surgery, radiation is applied to stop some cancerous cells left in attacking again the body of the patient. This therapy is internally administered by either the use of catheter to bring the radioactive drugs to organ that is affected, or putting radioactive pills on the organ directly through surgical operation. This medication is called brachytherapy and kills tumor cells but affects adversely the organ around in some patients.

Chemotherapy

This medication involves giving the patient drugs intravenously or sometimes through pills. Harmful tumor cells can be destroyed by these drugs but sometimes the healthy cells are damaged. The doctors use this therapy only if it is proven that radiation or surgical operations are not useful if the tumor is very aggressive.

In some instances, the bone marrows of patients are damaged and the physician may transplant bone marrows that are healthy after the medication so that the patient will become healthy without the threat of the killer cancer.
