Neoadjuvant Therapy

Neoadjuvant therapy refers to treatments given before the main treatment, often surgery, for conditions like cancer. The goal is to shrink tumors or improve the effectiveness of the main treatment. This may involve chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapies. By reducing the size of the tumor, it can make surgery easier and often more successful. Neoadjuvant therapy also allows doctors to evaluate how the cancer responds to treatment early on, which can provide valuable information for future care. Overall, it aims to improve outcomes and is an important part of cancer management.
