Chemotherapy at Guru Cancer Center: A Comprehensive Approach to Cancer Treatment

Chemotherapy is a pivotal component in the multifaceted approach to cancer care at Guru Cancer Center. This systemic treatment utilizes powerful medications to combat cancer cells throughout the body. Our dedicated oncology team employs chemotherapy in various ways, either as a standalone treatment or in combination with surgery, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy. The goal is to eradicate or control cancer, alleviate symptoms, and enhance overall well-being.
Key Aspects of Chemotherapy at Guru Cancer Center

Systemic Treatment: Chemotherapy circulates throughout the bloodstream, reaching cancer cells in different parts of the body.

Cancer Cell Targeting: The medications interfere with the growth and division of cancer cells, ultimately leading to their destruction or inhibition.

Types of Chemotherapy
  • Adjuvant Chemotherapy: Administered after surgery to eliminate any remaining cancer cells.
  • Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: Given before surgery to shrink tumors and facilitate surgical removal.
  • Palliative Chemotherapy: Aimed at relieving symptoms and enhancing quality of life for advanced-stage cancers.

Combination Therapies

Chemotherapy may be used in combination with other cancer treatments for synergistic effects and improved outcomes.
Individualized Treatment Plans: Our oncologists tailor chemotherapy regimens based on the specific type, stage, and characteristics of the cancer, as well as the patient’s overall health.
Chemotherapy Administration
  • Infusion Therapy: Intravenous (IV) administration in a clinic or hospital setting.
  • Oral Medications: Some chemotherapy drugs are available in pill or liquid form for convenient at-home administration.
  • Treatment Cycles: Chemotherapy is often delivered in cycles, allowing for recovery between treatment sessions.

Patient Education: We prioritize patient education, providing information about the treatment process, potential side effects, and strategies for coping.

Monitoring and Follow-Up: Regular assessments, including imaging and laboratory tests, are conducted to evaluate the response to chemotherapy.

Adaptation of Treatment Plans: Treatment plans may be adjusted based on the patient’s response and any emerging considerations.
