The following treatments are currently used:
– Excision of the tumor. It is the optimal way of getting the tumor out of the body. However, because cancerous cells are frequently located also outside the tumor, it must be excised with a margin. On top of that, after cutting out of the tumor, the dissemination of metastasis is promoted and for their prevention, other methods must be added to the therapy. It can be made with traditional surgical instruments, or with the use of new instruments (radiofrequency knife, laser scalpel, etc.). The new surgical technologies help to promote faster recovery and the maintenance of the basic functions which was previously impossible like maintaining voice in laryngoscopy.
– Chemotherapy. This includes the use of potent medicines against rapidly multiplying cells. Medicines used today can suppress DNA replication and prevent the division of the cells. Worth noting that it also affects certain healthy cells such as the cells of the stomach that also divide quickly. Therefore, chemotherapy can cause severe adverse reactions. Luckily, after a course of chemotherapy, healthy cells are recovered.
– Radiotherapy. Irradiation kills cancerous cells while normal cells suffer from less impact.
– Hormone therapy. In some organs, the cells of tumors are responding to hormones. On its own, hormone therapy cannot cure the tumor.  But it can extend the life of people with inoperable cancer or better the chances of a cure when combined with other therapies.
The hormonal cancer medicines for men include Casodex (Bicalutamide) by Cipla.
To elevate the success of treatment most frequently the use of a combination of two or more methods is needed.
Additional methods of treatment include cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy and use of medicines to improve the immune response of the body.
For terminally ill patients, analgesics and psychiatric medications (to cope with depression) are used.
