• B. (B), (D) and (E) only
• C. (A), (C) and (D) only
• D. (A) and (C) only

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Cancer treatment commonly involves surgery, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy. Physiotherapy is not a primary cancer treatment.

Answer 2

Common treatments for cancer include:

• Surgery (B): It is one of the primary methods for treating many types of cancer, where the tumor or affected tissue is physically removed.
• Radiation therapy (D): This treatment uses high-energy rays or particles to kill or damage cancer cells. It is commonly used in conjunction with surgery or chemotherapy.
• Immunotherapy (E): This method boosts or alters the body's immune system to fight cancer, and it has become a standard part of cancer treatment for some types.
• Vaccination (A), while relevant for cancer prevention in some cases (e.g., the HPV vaccine for preventing cervical cancer), is not considered a treatment method.
• Physiotherapy (C) is typically used for rehabilitation or managing side effects post-treatment, but it is not a direct cancer treatment method.

Thus, the combination of Surgery, Radiation therapy, and Immunotherapy is commonly used in the treatment of cancer.
