Chemotherapy & Immunotherapy

Chemotherapy is the use of anti-cancer drugs and other agents to eradicate cancer cells. Specific drugs at a specific dose are used to target cancer cells, and to control and terminate their growth. The type of drug prescribed by the oncologist depends on the type of the cancer. Chemotherapy is most commonly administered either orally or through an infusion pump over a period of sessions. It is delivered as an outpatient service.

Immunotherapy is a type of treatment that helps your own immune system to fight cancer. This treatment technique can strengthen or change how your immune system works and therefore ues it to find and destroy cancer cells. Similar to chemotherapy, immunotherapy is most commonly administered either orally or through an infusion pump over a period of sessions. It is delivered as an outpatient service.
