Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is one of the most common treatments for cancer. It uses special medicines to kill or stop the growth of cancer cells. Since cancer cells grow and divide faster than normal cells, chemotherapy targets them effectively.

When is chemotherapy used?

Chemotherapy may be given:

• As the main treatment to control or cure cancer

• Before surgery or radiation (to shrink tumors)

• After surgery (to destroy any remaining cancer cells)

• To relieve symptoms and improve quality of life in advanced stages

How it is given

• Intravenous (IV): Through a vein in your arm

• Oral medicines: Pills or capsules taken at home

• Injections: Under the skin or into the muscle

• Regional chemotherapy: Directly into a specific part of the body

Common side effects

Chemotherapy medicines can also affect some healthy cells, which may cause:

• Tiredness

• Hair loss

• Nausea or vomiting

• Loss of appetite

• Low blood counts (leading to infections or easy bruising)

Most side effects are temporary and can be managed with supportive medicines and care.

Our approach

• We design personalized treatment plans for each patient, depending on the type of cancer, stage, and overall health.

• Modern chemotherapy protocols help reduce side effects and improve outcomes.

• A dedicated team monitors you closely during treatment to ensure safety and comfort.

• We also provide nutritional guidance, counseling, and supportive care to make the journey smoother.

Our goal is to not only treat the cancer but also to support you physically and emotionally throughout the process.
