Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses
specialized medicines to destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing and dividing. These
drugs work by targeting rapidly dividing cells, which makes chemotherapy effective against
many types of cancer.
Chemotherapy may be used as a primary treatment to cure cancer, or as part of a combined
treatment plan along with surgery and radiation therapy. It can also be given before surgery
(neoadjuvant chemotherapy) to shrink tumors or after surgery (adjuvant chemotherapy) to
eliminate any remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Chemotherapy can be administered in different ways, including through an intravenous (IV)
line, chemoport, injections, or oral tablets, depending on the type of cancer and treatment
plan. While chemotherapy can cause side effects such as nausea, fatigue, or hair loss,
modern treatments and supportive care help manage these effects effectively.
At OncoRelief, chemotherapy is delivered with a patient-centered approach, focusing on
safety, comfort, and personalized care to achieve the best possible outcomes.
