Treatment options
Inova Cancer Services offers the latest and most advanced forms of the three major cancer treatment options:
- Medical oncology (such as chemotherapy and hormone therapy)
- Radiation oncology (such as TomoTherapy™, Trilogy™, RapidArc™, IMRT, IGRT and radioactive seed implants)
- Surgical treatments (such as da Vinci® prostatectomy, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, cryotherapy to freeze and kill cancer cells, and sentinel-node surgery for breast cancer patients that helps limit the number of lymph nodes removed)
Some treatment options are better suited to certain kinds and stages of cancer. You and your doctor will decide which treatment, or combination of treatments, is best for you.
