The type of treatment recommended by a medical oncologist depends on various factors, such as the type of malignant cells and tissue, the stage of the disease, how far it has spread, the patient’s overall health, and the potential side effects of the treatment. They may advise chemotherapy in the form of drugs administered orally, intravenously, or topically to kill cancer cells.
