Chemotherapy Treatment

What is Chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses powerful drugs to kill rapidly growing cancer cells. It can be used as a standalone treatment or in combination with surgery and radiation therapy.

How Does Chemotherapy Work?

Chemotherapy targets fast-growing cancer cells by interfering with their ability to divide and grow. However, it can also affect some healthy cells, leading to side effects.

Types of Chemotherapy

• Curative Chemotherapy: Used to completely eliminate cancer.
• Adjuvant Chemotherapy: Given after surgery to destroy remaining cells.
• Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: Administered before surgery to shrink tumors.
• Palliative Chemotherapy: Used to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.

Side Effects of Chemotherapy

Common side effects include fatigue, nausea, hair loss, and weakened immunity. However, modern treatments help manage these side effects effectively.
