How Do I Treat My Maple Trees For Bark Disease And Canker

My red maple has branches dying and a large canker on the north side. How do I treat this? Will my tree dye? Also, my canadian cherry has limbs dye every year and I cut them off. it started as a triangle shape and is now the shape of a Y. It’s awful. Can you help? Thank you, Tonya Montgomery
