Chemotherapy is a combination of two words “Chemo” and “Therapy”. Chemo means Chemical and Therapy is a treatment so by combining the two, it can be called a “Chemical treatment”. It’s a way of treatment in which a combination of medicines used, to kill the cancer cells more rapidly than to any other form of single medicine. It is a combination of powerful drugs which can kill cancer cells at a high rate. In this therapy drugs are given by mouth, directly into the veins, into the muscles and directly under the skin. A patient needs to have this treatment 8-10 times or more as according to the stage of the cancer in the body. If a patient is diagnosed in the early stage than the cycle of the treatment can be less and vise versa.
Chemotherapy is anti-cancer multi drug combination which controls and stops the multiplication of cancer cells so that the growth of the cancer cells can be controlled and they can be eliminated later. Chemotherapy can be different among different people depending upon some ones tumor size, hormones receptor, and physical appearance. Chemotherapy is not an enjoyable treatment and it’s very different to sustain as it affects the whole body. People don’t want it but accept it as a last resort and because of its advantages against cancer. Chemotherapy, before surgery, effect twice, once to reduce the size of the tumor, and it also destroy cancer cells. After surgery, Chemotherapy works through blood flow to kill all cancer cells wherever these cells try to grow.
