The treatment for endocrine cancers depends on the type of cancer and the stage of the disease. Common treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy.
If the cancer is confined to a single organ or gland, part or all of the organ or gland may be removed. When feasible, only the portion of the affected gland is excised.
Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It can be used to eliminate endocrine cancer, reduce the size of the cancer cells, or alleviate symptoms. Often, it’s used in combination with other treatments.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to kill cancer cells. It can be used to shrink tumors, kill cancer cells, and decrease the chances of cancer recurrence.
Hormone therapy uses drugs to block the production or action of hormones that are stimulating the growth of cancer cells. It can be used to shrink tumors, kill cancer cells, and decrease the chances of cancer recurrence.
If you have any concerns about endocrine cancers, talk to your doctor.
