Sure! Here are descriptions for each cancer treatment:

  1. Surgery: This treatment involves the physical removal of the tumor and surrounding tissue from the body. It aims to eliminate cancerous cells and, in some cases, nearby lymph nodes.

  2. Chemotherapy: This treatment uses drugs to kill cancer cells or slow their growth. It can affect the entire body and is often used to treat cancer that has spread or to shrink tumors before surgery.

  3. Radiation: This treatment uses high-energy particles or waves, such as X-rays or gamma rays, to target and destroy cancer cells. It can be used to treat localized tumors or as an adjuvant therapy to minimize recurrence.

Now, arrange the descriptions under the correct treatment:

  • Surgery: The physical removal of the tumor and surrounding tissue.
  • Chemotherapy: Uses drugs to kill cancer cells or slow their growth.
  • Radiation: Uses high-energy particles or waves to target and destroy cancer cells.
