Breast Cancer Chemotherapy: Increasing Effectiveness
Neo adjuvant Breast Cancer Chemotherapy is one of the ways that breast cancer chemotherapy may help increase the effectiveness of the primary treatment. Neo adjuvant Breast Cancer Chemotherapy is administered prior to a primary treatment such as surgery, and in some cases may actually increase the effectiveness of the surgery by making the tumor easier to remove. Likewise, adjuvant breast cancer chemotherapy, administered after a primary treatment, to destroy any cancer cells that may remain in the area, may reduce the likelihood of tumor spread.
Breast Cancer Chemotherapy: A Systemic Treatment
Unlike radiation therapy, conventional breast cancer chemotherapy is a systemic treatment that is carried throughout the entire body by the bloodstream. With the introduction of new medications and the proper comprehensive team of experts, the side effects of breast cancer chemotherapy can usually be managed and minimized.
