Chemotherapy
Cancer Treatment
Overview
Chemotherapy is a therapy that uses drugs to treat cancer. The goal of modern chemotherapy is to kill the bad (cancer) cells and harm the good (healthy) cells as little as possible. Chemotherapy Abroad is a type of chemotherapy that is performed at hospitals around the world that specialize in using drugs to treat cancer. A chemotherapy regimen is created for each individual by an oncologist who has specialized training in the administration of chemotherapeutic agents and their application for the treatment of cancer. Chemotherapy can be performed before, during, or after surgery. For example, some cancers require that the tumor first be reduced in size through chemotherapy before it can be removed surgically. CureMeAbroad allows individuals to find an oncology center and have their chemotherapy performed at a hospital where the oncology team has extensive experience with infusion systems. Chemotherapy regimens are customized for each individual; therefore, the dose, frequency and supportive care plan for the management of adverse reactions can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual. An advantage of receiving chemotherapy outside of your country of origin is lower cost with no loss of quality. Individuals receiving chemotherapy abroad also benefit from significantly shorter wait times for treatment and a comprehensive package of services including consultation, diagnostic studies, and follow up support. With current treatment modalities and the expertise of the oncologic staff, Chemotherapy Abroad represents an organized and structured method of managing cancer that promotes improved patient comfort and outcomes.
