Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses powerful medicines to destroy cancer cells or slow their growth and spread. It may be used as the primary treatment, before surgery to shrink a tumor, after surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence, or together with radiation therapy and other cancer treatments. Depending on the type of cancer, chemotherapy may be administered intravenously, orally, or through other specialized methods as part of an individualized treatment plan.
Patients with Cancer Requiring Systemic Treatment
Individuals with cancers that may respond to chemotherapy, including certain blood cancers and solid tumors.
Patients with Advanced or Spreading Cancer
People whose cancer has spread to other parts of the body and requires systemic treatment to control cancer cells throughout the body.
Patients Undergoing Combined Cancer Treatment
Individuals who may benefit from chemotherapy before or after surgery, alongside radiation therapy, or in combination with targeted or other cancer treatments.
Comprehensive Cancer Evaluation
Your oncology team reviews your cancer type, stage, biopsy results, previous treatments, overall health, and blood tests to determine the most appropriate chemotherapy plan.
Personalized Chemotherapy Treatment
Chemotherapy medicines are administered according to the prescribed treatment plan, commonly through an intravenous infusion or oral medication. The dose and combination of medicines are tailored to the individual.
Treatment Monitoring & Supportive Care
