What is Chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses powerful medications to destroy rapidly dividing cancer cells. It may be given alone or in combination with surgery, radiation, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy.

Chemotherapy is administered under the supervision of an experienced oncologist using internationally accepted protocols — with a strong focus on safety, accuracy and patient comfort.

Every treatment plan is personalised based on the type and stage of cancer, the patient's overall health, and the goals of therapy.

Curative
To eliminate cancer
Adjuvant
After surgery
Neoadjuvant
Before surgery
Palliative
Symptom control

Intramuscular

Injected into a muscle, used in specific cancer types.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about chemotherapy

Duration depends on the type of cancer and the chemotherapy regimen. Some sessions take 30 minutes, while others may take several hours. Your oncologist will explain your specific schedule.

Not all chemotherapy causes hair loss. It depends on the drugs used. If hair loss occurs, it is usually temporary and grows back after treatment.

Many patients continue light daily activities. However, you may need rest during treatment cycles. Your oncologist will advise based on your condition.

Chemotherapy itself is usually not painful. Some patients feel a mild sensation at the IV site. Maximum comfort is ensured throughout the session.
