What is Chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses powerful drugs to destroy cancer cells or stop their growth. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments such as surgery, radiation, or immunotherapy.
How Chemotherapy Works to Treat Cancer
Chemotherapy works by targeting rapidly dividing cancer cells, effectively destroying them or slowing their growth. The drugs used in chemotherapy can be administered orally, intravenously, or through injections, depending on the type of cancer and the patient's needs.
While chemotherapy targets cancer cells, it may also affect normal healthy cells, which is why it can lead to side effects. However, recent advancements in chemotherapy have led to more targeted treatments that focus on cancer cells while minimising damage to healthy tissues.
Chemotherapy is commonly used to treat cancers such as breast cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, and more. At KCH, we provide both traditional chemotherapy and more advanced, targeted chemotherapy options to suit each patient's needs.
