Chemotherapy

What is chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill or disrupt the growth of cancer cells. These drugs can be administered by injection, a drip or as tablets, and can be given alone or used in combination with other types of treatment.

You might have chemotherapy:

  • to shrink a cancer before surgery or radiotherapy
  • to try to stop cancer coming back after surgery or radiotherapy
  • as a treatment on its own, if your type of cancer is very sensitive to it
  • to treat cancer that has spread from where it first started.
