Why is Chemotherapy Treatment Done? 

  • People undergo chemotherapy treatment for a variety of reasons.

  • Chemotherapy helps cure cancer without the need for additional treatments.

  • It can be given before surgery or radiation (neoadjuvant therapy) to shrink the tumour and improve outcomes.

  • To eliminate any remaining cancer cells and minimise recurrence risk, Chemotherapy can be used as adjuvant therapy following surgery.

  • In advanced cases, chemotherapy offers palliative relief to help ease pain and symptoms and improve the quality of life.

What usually happens before undergoing Chemotherapy Treatment? 

A medical evaluation is conducted for the patient before initiating Chemotherapy. These involve physical exams, blood tests, and imaging scans. Other tests include biopsy, tumour marker testing, and other procedures to understand the type, stage, and extent of cancer. Knowing the characteristics of cancer influences the treatment.
