Chemotherapy Protocols

Chemotherapy protocols are standardized treatment plans used to fight cancer. They specify which drugs are used, the doses, and the schedule for administration. The goal is to kill cancer cells or slow their growth while minimizing damage to healthy cells. Protocols can vary based on cancer type, stage, and individual patient factors. Treatment usually involves cycles of therapy, allowing the body time to recover between sessions. Oncologists monitor progress and adjust the plan as needed to optimize effectiveness and manage side effects. Overall, these protocols aim to provide a systematic approach to cancer treatment.
