It is most often used when cancer grows during treatment, returns after treatment, or side effects make the first plan unsafe to continue. Second-line therapy can be medicine, radiation, surgery, a procedure, or supportive care, depending on the cancer. It is commonly discussed in medical oncology and hematology-oncology, and it may also involve radiation and surgical teams."}
