When it comes to tumor, people are more afraid because once it deteriorates, it develops into cancer. Despite the rapid development of medical technology nowadays, there is still a gap in the treatment of cancer and no cure can be found. The treatment will be different depending on the severity of cancer. For some patients with more serious conditions, they need to adopt surgery, and some others need to adopt chemotherapy, but either surgery or chemotherapy will produce some damage to the body, so nowadays, comprehensive treatment is more advocated.
