R-CHOP regimen

R-CHOP is a combination of medicines used to treat certain types of lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. The name stands for the drugs involved: Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisone. These medications work together to destroy cancer cells and boost the immune system. The regimen is usually given in cycles over several months. While effective, R-CHOP can cause side effects like fatigue, infection risk, and hair loss. It’s administered under careful medical supervision to maximize benefits and manage any adverse effects.
