Chemotherapy for Effective Treatment
Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses anti-cancer drugs to destroy cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs work by disrupting the way cancer cells grow and divide.
Shrink Tumour
It can be used to shrink a tumour before undergoing radiotherapy or surgery, making the subsequent treatments more effective.
Preventing
Recurrence
After radiotherapy or surgery, chemotherapy can play a crucial role in removing any remaining cancer cells, reducing the risk of cancer returning, and enhancing your chances of long-term recovery.
Hindering Cancer Progress
In advanced stages, when a complete cure might be challenging, chemotherapy can slow disease progression.
Myth vs Fact
In chemotherapy, myths can cause unnecessary worries. We are commited to clear up these misconceptions and offering you most accurate information.
Myth 1:
“Chemotherapy is always extremely painful.”
VS
Fact:
While chemotherapy can have side effects, pain is not a universal experience. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to manage discomfort and prioritize your well-being.
Myth 2:
“Chemotherapy is a one-size-fits-all treatment.”
VS
Fact:
Chemotherapy is highly personalized to your unique condition. Your treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
Myth 3:
“All chemotherapy results in hair loss.”
VS
Fact:
Hair loss is not a certainty. It depends on the type and dosage of chemotherapy drugs used. Many patients retain their hair during treatment.
Myth 4:
“Chemotherapy is more harmful than beneficial.”
VS
Fact:
Chemotherapy has proven to be a powerful tool in cancer treatment, often leading to reduction of cancer symptoms and improved quality of life.
Chemotherapy Services
Chemotherapy offers diverse approaches to treatment, ensuring it suits your unique situation. Chemotherapy can be given in several ways. Your doctors will recommend the most suitable type of chemotherapy drug for you.
Here are the most common options:
Intravenous Chemotherapy
Typically administered in a hospital, this method involves medication delivered through a vein in your hand, arm, or chest. It’s closely monitored to ensure your safety and treatment efficacy.
Oral Chemotherapy Tablets
This convenient option allows you to take prescribed medication at home, with periodic check-ups at the hospital. Your treatment plan may involve a single type of chemotherapy medicine or a combination, spread over several sessions across a few months.
Chemo
Port
An implantable chemo port is a device with a small silicone tube that connects to a vein. It allows chemotherapy drugs to be given through the port instead of using needles to access a vein. This reduces the need for repeated needle sticks.
Chemotherapy can maximize treatment outcomes. Consult with our oncologist for the most up-to-date and personalized treatment.
