It is most often used before surgery, but it may also be used before radiation or other local treatments. The goal is to improve how well the next treatment works, not to delay it unnecessarily. It is commonly discussed in breast, rectal, esophageal, bladder, and certain lung and pancreatic cancers, among others."}
