3) If that doesn't work we train the host to fight it off (immunotherapy).
4) If we can't get the host to kill it we bring in someone else to do the job (bone marrow transplant).
Seems pretty simple to me.
(Note - I don'ty endorse the poisoning and nukes for social cancers (at least not at the moment.)
