Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is used by patients to treat many types of cancer.  Chemotherapy drugs are also called anticancer drugs because they work to destroy cancer cells.  Sometimes two or more drugs are used together, which is called combination chemotherapy.

Your oncologist may prescribe other types of drugs such as hormones, biological therapies, or supportive care. Treatment side effects may not occur, or can vary depending on the treatment regimen that you receive. Throughout your treatment, each patient is monitored very closely by the healthcare team and counseled about nutrition, exercise and side-effect prevention and treatment.

We offer patients out-patient chemotherapy, which does not involve a hospital stay, and allows patients to return to their homes following their treatment appointments.  Our physicians and nursing staff will guide you through your cancer complete treatment experience, helping you every step of the way.
