Solunsalpaajahoitoa

Solunsalpaajahoitoa, also known as chemotherapy, is a medical treatment that uses powerful drugs to kill rapidly dividing cells in the body. These drugs are designed to target cancer cells, which are characterized by their uncontrolled and fast growth. Chemotherapy can be administered in various ways, including intravenously (through a vein), orally (as pills or liquids), or sometimes topically. The specific drugs and treatment schedule depend on the type and stage of cancer being treated, as well as the patient's overall health.

While chemotherapy is highly effective in fighting many types of cancer, it can also affect healthy, fast-growing cells, leading to side effects. Common side effects include fatigue, hair loss, nausea, vomiting, and a weakened immune system. Doctors work to manage these side effects through supportive care medications and by adjusting the treatment plan if necessary. The goal of solunsalpaajahoitoa is to eliminate cancer cells, control the spread of the disease, and improve the patient's quality of life. It is often used in conjunction with other cancer treatments like surgery or radiation therapy.
