Overview

What is Chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses medicines to destroy or control cancer cells. It may be recommended before surgery, after surgery, along with radiation, or as a main treatment for advanced cancers.

The treatment plan depends on cancer type, stage, patient health, previous reports, and treatment goals. Chemotherapy can be given through injections, intravenous infusion, or oral medicines depending on the condition.

Dr. Shikhar Kumar plans chemotherapy after careful report review, diagnosis confirmation, staging, and patient fitness evaluation.

During treatment, patients are monitored for response, side effects, blood counts, nutrition, and overall tolerance so that care remains safe and personalized.
