Chemotherapy

Expert Care by Dr. Divyesh Pathak

At Adwaita Cancer Hospital & ICU, led by Dr. Divyesh Pathak, chemotherapy is one of the core treatments provided for cancer patients. As a powerful form of medical therapy, chemotherapy uses drugs to target and kill rapidly dividing cancer cells. This treatment is essential for managing a variety of cancers, either as a standalone therapy or combined with other treatments such as surgery, radiation, or immunotherapy.

Patients are supported throughout each step, with guidance on managing side effects, dietary needs, and overall well-being.

Purpose of Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is tailored to meet different treatment goals based on the type, stage, and location of cancer, as well as the patient’s overall health:

  1. Curative Treatment: In some cases, chemotherapy can completely eliminate cancer, leading to a cure.
  2. Control and Shrink Tumors: For cancers that cannot be cured, chemotherapy may help control the disease, shrinking tumors and slowing progression.
  3. Palliative Care: In advanced stages, chemotherapy can relieve symptoms, improve comfort, and enhance quality of life.
  4. Adjuvant and Neoadjuvant Therapy:
    • Adjuvant Therapy: Given after surgery to eliminate any remaining cancer cells.
    • Neoadjuvant Therapy: Administered before surgery to shrink tumors, making them easier to remove.
