Radiation therapy – Treatments like external beam radiation and brachytherapy (internal radiation) use high rays to kill cancer cells.
Hormone therapy – Androgen deprivation therapy, to cut the male hormones from assisting cancer to spread in other parts of the body.
Immunotherapy – Engineering the immunity T cells to produce a response that helps to cure cancer.
Chemotherapy – Use of anti-cancer drugs like docetaxel (Taxotere) cabazitaxel (Jevtana), mitoxantrone (Novantrone), estramustine (Emcyt) to kill the cancer cells. These are injected into the bloodstream by veins or mouth.
Vaccine treatment – Sipuleucel-T(Provenge) vaccine to attack cancer cells.
