Chemotherapy
What Is Chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy is a common cancer treatment. It uses drugs to destroy cancer cells and prevent tumor growth. It may be paired with other cancer treatments such as radiation therapy or surgery. Chemotherapy is usually given intravenously (through a vein). It’s an effective treatment but can cause side effects.
Other drug therapies include:
- Hormone therapy: Drugs that prevent certain cancers from getting the hormones they need to grow.
- Immunotherapy: Drugs that help your immune system fight cancer.
- Targeted therapy: Drugs that change how cancer cells multiply and behave.
