At Cancer Treatment Centers of America we continually revise our cancer chemotherapy protocols to reflect new treatments that have become available through scientific research.
Cancer chemotherapy is the use of cancer drugs to treat your cancer. These drugs are used in cancer chemotherapy to destroy cancer cells by slowing down or stopping their growth and reproduction. Cancer chemotherapy drugs are given intravenously, by mouth, and/or by injection.
When you become a patient at Cancer Treatment Centers of America you will work with a team of cancer experts to plan the appropriate combination of treatments. Among these is cancer chemotherapy.
Fractionated Dose Cancer Chemotherapy
Fractionated dose cancer chemotherapy differs from conventional chemotherapy in that the total dose of your chemotherapy is broken into smaller amounts and administered over a period of three to five days, rather than a single larger dose.
