When is chemotherapy required?

Antitumor therapy can have several goals while remaining useful in the overall fight against malignant neoplasms:

• The primary treatment method in which the affected cells destroyed.
• Induction therapy performs the task of preparing for subsequent surgery or radiation therapy. Drugs do not remove the tumor but make it more compact, facilitating, and reducing the time and volume of surgical intervention. Chemotherapy often makes inoperable cancer operable.
• Postoperative therapy carried out to destroy the malignant cells remaining after the first stage of treatment.
• Palliative antitumor therapy is sometimes the only possible way to control the condition and symptoms when radical treatment is not possible.
• In the presence of the smallest metastases that may go unnoticed in the body.
