  • Targeted therapy   is a targeted treatment that kills cancer cells without damaging nearby cells and has few side effects. Most often, treatment is combine with chemotherapy. By choosing to use in a group that has spread cancer Studies have shown that specific drug treatments can prolong the duration of life. and allows for a longer duration of disease-free life than chemotherapy alone.
  • immunotherapy drugs Immunotherapy  stimulates the body’s immune system to better detect and kill cancer cells. Increase the chances of a longer life. It is mainly use in the cancer that has spread. and a thorough biopsy of the cancer is require for effective treatment results.
