What is Chemotherapy Treatment?
Chemotherapy treatment is the use of cancer fighting drugs to treat your cancer. These chemotherapy treatment drugs are used to destroy cancer cells by slowing down or stopping their growth and reproduction. Chemotherapy treatment drugs are given intravenously, by mouth, or by injection.Chemotherapy treatment can be accompanied by some unpleasant side effects. Mouth sores, nausea, hair loss, and vomiting are among the side effects associated with chemotherapy treatment. At Cancer Treatment Centers of America, we use methods that attempt to moderate or prevent the side effects of chemotherapy treatment. One particular method used to control nausea and vomiting is called fractionated dose chemotherapy treatment. When you become a patient at Cancer Treatment Centers of America you will work with a team of cancer experts to plan the most effective combination of treatments. Among these is chemotherapy treatment.
Types of Chemotherapy Treatment
At CTCA we utilize a variety of chemotherapy treatment options to provide appropriate treatment of your cancer. Please use the links below for more information on the different types of chemotherapy treatment we provide.

Intraperitoneal chemotherapy treatment is used particularly in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Your abdominal cavity (also referred to as peritoneal area) may be flooded with chemotherapy to prevent the implantation of tumor cells.

Fractionated dose chemotherapy treatment differs from conventional chemotherapy treatment 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.
