How have cancer treatments improved?

Targeted therapies and immunotherapy have improved outcomes for selected groups of patients; some responses last for years. Molecular and other tumor tests can help identify suitable options. Treatment still depends on the cancer type, stage and your health. Chemotherapy remains important and may be used alone or combined with other treatments.
