Cancer, an extremely debilitating disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and development, causes millions of deaths annually despite significant research efforts and advances. This paper will cover some of the most promising therapies for cancer outlined in several studies such as gene therapy, surgery, stem cell therapy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. They will be summarized, with a brief overview of each method and further detail on the different techniques and approaches (Mathur, et al., 2015).
