Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is a medical treatment that uses powerful drugs to destroy cancer cells and prevent their growth and spread. It is one of the most common treatments for cancer, either used alone or in combination with other therapies such as surgery or radiation. Chemotherapy works by targeting rapidly dividing cancer cells, but it can also affect healthy cells, leading to side effects. At Revere Health, we offer personalized chemotherapy treatment plans tailored to each patient’s specific type of cancer and overall health, ensuring the best possible outcomes.

How Chemotherapy Works
Chemotherapy drugs are administered in cycles, allowing time for the body to recover between treatments. The drugs circulate throughout the body, targeting cancer cells wherever they may be. Treatment can be delivered orally, intravenously, or through other methods depending on the type and location of the cancer.

When Is Chemotherapy Recommended?
As a Primary Treatment: To shrink or eliminate cancer cells in certain types of cancer.
Before Surgery (Neoadjuvant Therapy): To reduce the size of a tumor and make surgery easier.
After Surgery (Adjuvant Therapy): To destroy any remaining cancer cells and prevent recurrence.
In Combination with Other Treatments: Used alongside radiation or immunotherapy for comprehensive cancer care.

Common Side Effects
Fatigue
Nausea and Vomiting
Hair Loss
Increased Risk of Infection
