3)Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy uses drugs that are injected into the bloodstream to diminish the cancer cell by limiting its tendency to grow and multiply. 

The process is held in cycles over a set period where the drug is given to before surgery to shrink the tumor or after the surgery to eliminate remaining cells.
