Chemo Therapy

Chemotherapy is used to treat many types of cancer. For some people, chemotherapy may be the only treatment you receive. But most often, you will have chemotherapy and other cancer treatments. The types of treatment that you need depend on the type of cancer you have, if it has spread and where, and if you have other health problems.

  • Cure the cancer
  • Shrink the cancer
  • Prevent the cancer from spreading
  • Relieve symptoms the cancer may be causing

HOW CHEMOTHERAPY IS GIVEN ?

Depending on the type of cancer and where it is found, chemotherapy drugs may be given different ways, including:

  • Injections or shots into the muscles
  • Injections or shots under the skin
  • Into an artery
  • Into a vein (intravenous, or IV)
  • Pills taken by mouth
  • Shots into the fluid around the spinal cord or brain

A central line can stay in the body over a long period of time. It will need to be flushed on a weekly to monthly basis to prevent blood clots from forming inside the central line.

Different chemotherapy drugs may be given at the same time or after each other. Radiation therapy may be received before, after, or during chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy is most often given in cycles. These cycles may last 1 day, several days, or a few weeks or more. There will usually be a rest period when no chemotherapy is given between each cycle. A rest period may last for days, weeks, or months. This allows the body and blood counts to recover before the next dose.

Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapy uses drugs to stop cancer from growing and spreading. It does this with less harm to normal cells than other treatments. Targeted treatment zeroes in on specific targets (molecules) in or on cancer cells. These targets play a role in how cancer cells grow and survive. Using these targets, the drug disables the cancer cells so they cannot spread.

  • Turn off the process in cancer cells that causes them to grow and spread
  • Trigger cancer cells to die on their own
  • Kill cancer cells directly

Who May Get Targeted Therapy?

There are targeted therapies that can treat certain types of these cancers:

  • Leukemia and lymphoma
  • Breast cancer
  • Colon cancer
  • Skin cancer
  • Lung cancer
  • Prostate

Limitations

Targeted therapies are promising new treatments, but they have limitations.

  • Cancer cells can become resistant to these drugs.
  • The target sometimes changes, so the treatment no longer works.
  • The cancer may find a different way to grow and survive that does not depend on the target.
  • Drugs can be difficult to develop for some targets.
  • Targeted therapies are newer and cost more to make. So, they are more expensive than other cancer treatments.

Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that relies on the body's ability to fight infection (immune system). It uses substances made by the body or in a lab to help the immune system work harder or in a more targeted way to fight cancer. This helps your body get rid of cancer cells.

  • Stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells.
  • Preventing cancer from spreading to other parts of the body.
  • Boosting the immune system's ability to get rid of cancer cells.
