Alongside surgery or radiotherapy, drug therapies may be necessary to protect the body as effectively as possible and reduce the risk of recurrence. Various types of drugs are used for this purpose – from therapies that slow down the growth of cancer cells through to cutting-edge active ingredients that specifically target certain characteristics of the tumour cells. Which treatment is appropriate for each patient is determined on a case-by-case basis. We are able to do this thanks to state-of-the-art testing methods and tried-and-tested medical recommendations, enabling us to choose a course of action that is both effective and well tolerated.
