Chemotherapy, sometimes called systemic therapy is the treatment of cancer using drugs. Cancer is a disease in which certain body cells multiply uncontrollably. Cancer cells can destroy healthy cells and invade other parts of the body (metastasis).
Chemotherapeutic agents act on cells that multiply rapidly. Cancer cells and some normal cells reproduce rapidly. When chemotherapy affects healthy cells, temporary side effects can occur. There are ways to alleviate it.
Chemotherapy can be administered alone or with other drugs. It may also be administered simultaneously with other treatments against cancer, or before or after these other treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy or hormone therapy.
Chemotherapy can be administered in many ways. Usually, drugs are injected into a vein (intravenously). For some types of cancer, the doctor may recommend an oral treatment, that is to say taking tablets by mouth. It can also be injected chemotherapy drugs into a muscle (intramuscular), under the skin (subcutaneously) in an artery (intra-arterial) or abdomen (intraperitoneal).
Catheters:
A catheter is a thin, flexible tube with a smooth surface that is placed in a large vein and allowed up as long as necessary. We often install a catheter to patients who require intravenous treatment. In this way, we did not insert a needle each time. The catheter used to administer medicines or to take samples of blood. Sometimes it is connected to a small injection chamber - a small hard round plastic or metal placed under the skin and leaves it up as long as necessary.
