Chemotherapy protocol
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses powerful drugs to kill cancer cells or slow their growth. The treatment is often given in cycles, with periods of administration followed by rest days to allow the body to recover. Each protocol is tailored to the individual patient, depending on the type of cancer, its stage, and the patient’s overall health. Common side effects include fatigue, nausea, and hair loss, as chemotherapy also affects healthy cells. The goal is to reduce the size of tumors, prevent cancer spread, and improve patient outcomes. Regular monitoring ensures the treatment's effectiveness and adjusts as needed.
