What is Chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses medication to kill cancer cells or stop their growth. It can be given through different routes, including injection, pill, or topical application.
Side effects occur in only a few patients. Common side effects vary depending on the medications used and the individual. They could include:
- Fatigue
- Nausea and vomiting
- Hair loss
- Mouth sores
- Loss of appetite
- Increased risk of infection
Chemotherapy drugs target and damage cancer cells, preventing them from multiplying and spreading. Different drugs work in different ways, like interfering with cell division or damaging DNA.
Several strategies can help manage side effects:
- Medications:Anti-nausea drugs, pain relievers, and mouthwashes can offer relief.
- Diet and nutrition:Eating smaller, frequent meals and staying hydrated can help.
- Rest and relaxation:Getting enough sleep and managing stress can improve well-being.
- Talk to your doctor:They can provide specific advice based on your treatment and side effects.
Many types of chemotherapy drugs exist, each with unique properties and uses. The type chosen depends on the specific cancer and its stage.
Chemotherapy can be used before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) to shrink tumors, after surgery (adjuvant therapy) to reduce cancer recurrence risk, or as the main treatment for some cancers.
Treatment duration varies depending on the cancer type, stage, and overall treatment plan. It can last weeks or months.
