Chemotherapy/Systemic Therapy

Chemotherapy uses powerful drugs or chemicals to directly attack cancerous cells. Systemic Therapy is a non-surgical treatment option for cancer patients. Systemic therapy is when drugs are administered into a patient’s blood stream to stop or slow the growth of cancerous cells. Biological therapy, also referred to as “Immunotherapy” utilizes the body immune system to fight cancer cells.
