Chemotherapy is one of the most commonly used treatments in medical oncology. It uses powerful drugs to destroy cancer cells and prevent them from growing or spreading.

At Lilavati Hospital, chemotherapy is administered with careful planning and monitoring to ensure maximum effectiveness and patient safety.

While chemotherapy can affect both cancerous and healthy cells, advancements in treatment protocols have helped reduce side effects. Common side effects may include fatigue, nausea, hair loss, and lowered immunity, but these are usually manageable with proper medical support.

Treatment schedules vary depending on the type and stage of cancer. Patients may receive chemotherapy in cycles, allowing the body time to recover between sessions.

With the right care and support, chemotherapy can be an effective tool in managing and treating cancer, helping patients move closer to recovery.
