- Surgery plays a pivotal role in the management of most solid cancer. While surgery alone is adequate for early cancers, most advanced tumours require multi modality treatment
Chemotherapy
- Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to destroy rapidly growing cancer cells
- Some kinds of chemotherapy may slow the growth of cancer cells, and keep them from spreading to other parts of the body
- It may be used with radiation to help shrink the tumour before surgery
- It may also be used after surgery or radiation to destroy remnant cancer cells
- At Kothari, chemotherapy is given as an outpatient procedure at our specialized treatment areas, managed by a team of oncology trained nurses who provide close monitoring
