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.
