Chemotherapy is a common cancer treatment, often combined with surgery or radiation therapy. Certain drugs are used in this therapy that target and destroy exponentially multiplying cancer cells. This can help shrink tumours and prevent cancer from spreading to other parts of the body.

At CikitsaIndia Cancer Care Programme, our best medical oncologists in Bangalore use chemotherapy to treat various cancers, including Breast Cancer, Lung Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Leukaemia, and more.
There are 2 types of chemotherapy: Adjuvant Chemotherapy and Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy. • Adjuvant chemotherapy is given after the main treatment, such as surgery, to kill any cancer cells that may remain in the body.
• Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is given before primary cancer treatment, such as surgery or radiation therapy to help shrink the tumour.

Based on the cancer types and stages, there are various methods to administer chemotherapy - orally, intravenously, injected into a muscle, or topically (applied directly to the skin).
• The patient requires multiple cycles of chemotherapy at certain intervals.
• The patient should be hydrated to negate the side effects of chemotherapy (nausea, vomiting, and hair loss) as chemo drugs also target healthy cells in the body. • The doctor will offer supportive care measures to manage these side effects.

FAQ's

Common side effects of chemotherapy include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and an increased risk of infections. The severity and type of side effects vary depending on the drugs used and the individual patient. Your oncology team will provide supportive care to help manage these side effects.

A core biopsy procedure typically takes about 30 minutes to complete. The actual time may vary depending on the location of the biopsy and whether imaging guidance is used. Most patients can return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure.

The success rate of a bone marrow transplant depends on various factors, including the type of transplant, the patient’s overall health, and the type of cancer or disease being treated. Generally, success rates are higher for autologous transplants and when the transplant is performed early in the course of the disease.

In many cases, breast reconstruction is covered by insurance, especially when it is performed after a mastectomy as part of cancer treatment. Coverage may vary depending on the insurance provider and the specific reconstruction technique used. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider before the procedure.

Radiation therapy carries some risks, including skin irritation, fatigue, and damage to surrounding healthy tissues. In some cases, radiation can cause long-term side effects such as fibrosis or secondary cancers. Your radiation oncologist will discuss these risks with you and take steps to minimise them during treatment.
