Chemotherapy Treatment for Cancer
Chemotherapy medicines help keep cancer cells from growing and dividing. Your doctor will tailor treatment to your needs, based on the type, stage, and grade of your cancer.
Chemotherapy is given in a variety of ways and how you receive it will depend on the type of cancer you have. You might take pills or get the medicine in a vein. You may need chemo every day, every week, or monthly. Treatment could last for several months or longer.
You may have treatment at St. Luke's Cancer Institute, at the hospital, or at home. It will depend on the type of medicine you need.
