What is Modern Chemotherapy?
Modern chemotherapy involves the use of cytotoxic drugs to destroy cancer cells or inhibit their growth and division. Modern approaches have evolved beyond traditional "one size fits all" schemes and now include personalized treatment plans based on tumor biology, genetic markers, and individual patient characteristics. Today's chemotherapy is often integrated with other methods such as targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and precision medicine, creating synergistic treatment combinations that improve efficacy while reducing toxicity. Advanced supportive care measures have significantly improved treatment tolerance and quality of life during chemotherapy cycles.
