Innovative Chemotherapy Delivery: Metronomic Chemotherapy
At Cancer Treatment Centers of America, we help stomach cancer patients fight the disease and experience the best quality of life possible. Metronomic chemotherapy is such an example of a treatment we offer for stomach cancer that helps to minimize side effects.
With this method of administering chemotherapy, the medicine is given in smaller doses over a period of several days, rather than in a large, single dose (i.e., the traditional way of delivering chemotherapy). The advantages of using this method include:
- The chemotherapy drugs can potentially work for a longer period of time
- The smaller doses may help reduce nausea and vomiting
- It may be easier to tolerate the chemotherapy
To determine if metronomic chemotherapy is a treatment option for you, your doctor will consider several factors, including the type and stage of stomach cancer you have.
