Chemotherapy (click for worldwide facilities list): Chemotherapy is used primarily to treat cancer.
Systemic chemotherapy uses anticancer drugs that are given into a vein or by mouth. These drugs enter the bloodstream and reach all areas of the body. Therefore, this therapy is useful in treating cancer that has metastasized (spread) to organs beyond the original cancer site. It maybe used to prolong your life by controlling cancer growth and spread, as well as relieve symptoms enhancing your quality of life.
In some cases, chemotherapy may be the only treatment you need. More often, it's used in conjunction with other treatments, such as surgery, radiation, or a bone marrow transplant, to improve results.
Chemotherapy may not be limited to a single drug. Most chemotherapy is given as a combination of drugs that work together to kill cancer cells. Combining drugs that have different actions at the cellular level may help destroy a greater number of cancer cells and might reduce the risk of your cancer developing resistance to one particular drug.
Chemotherapy drugs kill cancer cells but also damage some normal cells. Therefore, careful attention must be given to preventing or minimizing side effects, which depend on the type of drugs, the amount taken, and the length of treatment. Temporary side effects might include nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, loss of hair, diarrhea, and mouth sores. Because chemotherapy can damage the blood-producing cells of the bone marrow, patients may have low blood cell counts. This can result in an increased chance of infection (due to a low white blood cells), bleeding or bruising after minor cuts or injuries (due to a low blood platelets), and fatigue and shortness of breath (due to low red blood cell counts). Most side effects disappear once treatment is stopped. Hair will grow back after treatment ends, although it may look different. It is important to discuss any side effects of chemotherapy with your doctor and/or nurse. There are remedies for many of the temporary side effects of chemotherapy. For example, antiemetic drugs to prevent or reduce nausea and vomiting can be given.
