Topical Chemotherapy

Topical chemotherapy is a treatment method that involves applying medication directly onto the skin or a specific area of the body, rather than taking it orally or receiving it through an injection. This approach is often used for certain types of skin cancers or precancerous conditions. The medication works locally, targeting cancer cells while minimizing systemic side effects. By being applied directly, it can be particularly effective for treating localized tumors, allowing for focused treatment with potentially fewer impacts on the rest of the body.
