Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment in which one or more chemotherapeutic agents are administered as a part of the treatment. Chemotherapeutic agents are drugs that directly or indirectly inhibit the growth of rapidly dividing cells, mostly malignant or cancer cells. This therapy is given with the intent to cure the patient, prolong their lifespan, or reduce the symptoms.

To identify and ensure the type of cancer an individual is suffering from, specific screening tests are conducted with the aim of early detection and treatment. Some of these tests are:

  • Pap test
  • Colonoscopy
  • Blood Test
  • Biopsy
  • Chest radiograph
  • Rectal examination

The type and dosage of chemotherapeutic agents administered are dependent on various factors such as type of cancer, where it first showed up in the body, age, etc.
