Chemotherapy

      What is Chemotherapy?

      Chemotherapy is a cornerstone of cancer treatment, using targeted anti-cancer drugs to destroy or control cancer cells. At Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai, we provide personalized chemotherapy plans designed to maximize effectiveness while minimizing side effects.

      How Chemotherapy Works

      Chemotherapy drugs target rapidly dividing cancer cells. Treatment may be:

      • Neoadjuvant: Before surgery to shrink tumors
      • Adjuvant: After surgery to eliminate remaining cancer cells
      • Primary Therapy: Main treatment for certain cancers
      • Palliative: To relieve symptoms and improve quality of life

      Chemotherapy can be delivered orally, intravenously, or via specialized infusion lines such as PICC or chemoport.

      Who Can Benefit?

      Chemotherapy is used for many cancers including:

      • Blood cancers: leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma
      • Solid tumors: breast, lung, colon, gastrointestinal, gynecologic cancers
      • Pediatric cancers
      • Advanced or metastatic cancers

      The young brain is highly responsive to therapy and stimulation. When developmental issues are detected and treated during the early hidden or evolving stage, before the condition becomes fully established, the outcomes are significantly better and the effort, time and cost involved are far less. Waiting until a problem is fully manifested makes treatment harder and slower.
