Chemotherapy is a group of drugs or medicines used to treat cancer. They act by killing cells that multiply rapidly, such as cancer cells, and reduce their ability to divide, growth and spread. Different cancers are treated using different chemotherapy drugs either alone or in combination with other chemotherapy drugs, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy. Cancer specialists in hospitals usually give these medicines.

Chemotherapy can be given either as tablets orally or in the vein as injections or infusions. In most of the cases, it is administered as infusions. Sometimes the chemotherapy can also be given in combination of tablets and infusions. Irrespective of its method of delivery, they enter the blood circulation and target the cancer cells wherever they are in the body. Most of the chemotherapy nowadays require a daycare admission in an Oncology day care unit, and patients are discharged the same day. For some chemotherapy regimens, a few days admission may be required to deliver the treatment safely. Chemotherapy is generally given at regular intervals of every week, or 2 to 3 weekly for prolonged duration often over 4 to 6 months and maybe more. Chemotherapy drug doses are generally calculated based on the patient’s height and weight. Occasionally standard dosing may be used depending upon the drug.
Since chemotherapy can also affect some healthy cells, it can lead to side effects and hence should be taken under the care of doctors who are trained in delivering the treatment safely and do it regularly. Different chemotherapy drugs have different side-effect profiles, and the patient should discuss it with their cancer specialist in detail before starting the treatment. Since the healthy cells can repair themselves, most of the side effects will improve or go away with time. Generally, if the side effects are severe, then the chemotherapy medicines may be delayed, dose reduced or stopped, and alternative treatment started.
Some of these side effects can be reduced or treated. Consult Cancer Therapy India, we offer the best chemotherapy in India, if you notice any above side effects in yourself or anyone near you.
