What is Chemotherapy?

What is Chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy is a form of systemic cancer treatment that uses powerful drugs to destroy cancer cells throughout the body. It serves as a vital tool in managing many cancers and can be used for a variety of purposes, including curative, adjuvant, neoadjuvant, or palliative therapy.

Goals and Uses of Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy may be used in several ways, depending on the patient’s condition:

  • Before Surgery (Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy): To shrink tumors and make them easier to remove.
  • After Surgery (Adjuvant Chemotherapy): To eliminate any remaining microscopic cancer cells and reduce the risk of the cancer returning.
  • As the Primary Treatment: For cancers that cannot be removed by surgery.
  • For Symptom Relief (Palliative Chemotherapy): To relieve symptoms and improve quality of life and survival in patients with advanced or metastatic cancers.
  • In Combination: Used with radiotherapy or targeted therapies to boost their effectiveness.

Types of Chemotherapy Offered

Dr. Sandip Ganguly offers a wide range of chemotherapy options to suit each patient’s needs:

  • Intravenous (IV) Chemotherapy: Administered in a monitored clinical setting as a daycare procedure, allowing patients to receive treatment and return home on the same day.
  • Oral Chemotherapy: Available for eligible patients who prefer to take their medication at home.
  • Specialized Treatments: High-dose chemotherapy for selected aggressive malignancies and metronomic chemotherapy in a repetitive low-dose schedule for special cases are also offered.

Personalized and Safe Patient Care

Every patient undergoes a thorough evaluation, which may include cancer staging, organ function assessment, and genomic profiling. Based on this, Dr. Ganguly provides a tailored chemotherapy protocol that adheres to the latest international oncology guidelines (such as NCCN, ESMO, and ASCO) to ensure safe, evidence-based care.

The clinic is equipped with modern infusion chairs, emergency support systems, and strong infection control measures to provide a safe and hygienic environment.
