Understanding Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy uses powerful medications to destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing and dividing. At Jain Oncology, we use the latest evidence-based protocols tailored to your specific cancer type, stage, and molecular profile. Our goal is to deliver maximum anti-cancer effect with the best possible quality of life during treatment.
Types of Chemotherapy
Each chemotherapy approach is tailored to your cancer type, stage, and treatment goals.
Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
Given before surgery to shrink tumours, making them easier to remove and sometimes enabling breast-conserving surgery.
Adjuvant Chemotherapy
Administered after surgery to destroy remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Palliative Chemotherapy
Used in advanced cancers to control growth, relieve symptoms, and improve quality of life.
Combination Chemotherapy
Multiple drugs used together to attack cancer cells through different mechanisms for better effectiveness.
Dose-Dense Chemotherapy
Cycles given at shorter intervals with growth factor support, used in aggressive cancers for faster response.
Metronomic Chemotherapy
Low, continuous doses of oral chemotherapy to maintain disease control with fewer side effects.
