Conventional therapies are used for patients to reach an acceptable level of success and patients can continue their lives but there are some side effects and most of the times the normal cells encounter damages by these therapies and also probability of recurrence always exist. So, the presence of a definitive therapy is needed to cure patients without these problems after therapy.
