kemoterápiával

Kemoterápia is the Hungarian term for chemotherapy, a medical treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It is a systemic treatment, meaning it travels throughout the body to reach cancer cells that may have spread from the original tumor. Chemotherapy works by interfering with the growth and division of cells, particularly those that are rapidly dividing, such as cancer cells. However, it can also affect healthy, fast-growing cells, leading to side effects.

The specific chemotherapy drugs used, the dosage, and the treatment schedule depend on the type and stage of cancer, as well as the patient's overall health. Chemotherapy can be administered in various ways, including intravenously (through a vein), orally (as pills or liquids), or sometimes injected into specific body cavities. It is often used in combination with other cancer treatments, such as surgery or radiation therapy, to improve effectiveness.

Common side effects of chemotherapy can include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, increased risk of infection, and changes in blood cell counts. These side effects vary greatly depending on the drugs used and can often be managed with supportive care and medications. Despite its side effects, chemotherapy remains a crucial tool in the fight against many types of cancer, offering hope and improving outcomes for numerous patients. It is a complex treatment that requires careful monitoring by a medical team.
