Chemotherapy Types
Chemotherapy encompasses a wide variety of therapy treatments. Terms such as "adjuvant," "neoadjuvant," "consolidation," and "palliative" often add to the confusion surrounding chemotherapy if not properly defined and explained. The purpose of this page is to increase the level of understanding about various chemotherapy protocols currently used.
- Neoadjuvant chemotherapy
- Induction chemotherapy
- Consolidation chemotherapy
- Maintenance chemotherapy
- First line chemotherapy
- Second line chemotherapy
- Palliative chemotherapy
- Adjuvant chemotherapy
- HAMLET chemotherapy
