Bone Cancer

Treatment & Care

Treatment Options for Bone Cancer

According to the Mayo Clinic, surgery is the most common treatment option for bone cancer, although treatment for bone cancer depends on the size, type, location and stage of the cancer, including whether it has spread to the lungs or other parts of the body, and one's overall health.

Alternative and Complementary (Integrative) Medical Approaches to the Treatment of Cancer

In general, cancer-related alternative medicine refers to therapies, such as mistletoe or coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ10)*, that may be used instead of conventional treatments. Complementary or integrative medicine, on the other hand, usually means therapies used in conjunction with traditional treatments.
