What is Chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy is a treatment that involves using a combination of powerful drugs to destroy or inhibit the growth of cancer cells. These drugs target rapidly dividing cells, including cancerous ones, making chemotherapy an effective approach for various types of cancer. Depending on the cancer type and treatment plan, chemotherapy can be administered in several ways, including orally (pills), intravenously (through a vein), or via injections. This versatile treatment is often used in combination with other therapies like surgery or radiation to improve overall effectiveness and reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.

Symptoms That May Require Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is often recommended when symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, pain, difficulty breathing, or visible lumps or masses suggest the presence of cancer. Early detection and treatment are essential for effective chemotherapy.

Types of Chemotherapy

  • Alkylating Agents: Interfere with DNA replication in cancer cells.
  • Antimetabolites: Disrupt the cell’s ability to replicate its DNA and RNA.
  • Mitotic Inhibitors: Block cancer cell division.
  • Topoisomerase Inhibitors: Prevent DNA from unwinding, halting cancer cell replication.
  • Platinum-Based Drugs: Disrupt cancer cell DNA and protein production.

Benefits of Chemotherapy

  • Effective for Aggressive Cancers: Targets rapidly dividing cancer cells, making it effective for many types of cancer.
  • Improved Survival Rates: Chemotherapy can improve survival rates, especially when used in combination with other treatments.
  • Shrink Tumors: It can shrink tumors before surgery or radiation therapy, making treatment more effective.
