Chemotherapy Notes:
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment technique, in which one or more anti-cancer drugs are used, as part of a standardized Chemotherapy regimen. It might be given with an aim to reduce symptoms, prolong life or with a curative intent. Chemotherapy mostly results in a range of adverse effects (including increased risk of infection, nausea, vomiting and impaired growth of healthy cells), and with some agents, an increase in the risk of secondary neoplasms.
