It is commonly used in advanced or recurrent cancers, where the disease has returned or continued to grow. Third-line therapy may aim to slow cancer growth, reduce symptoms, or improve quality of life. The exact treatment can differ widely depending on the cancer type and the person\u2019s overall health."}
