Chemotherapy for Bowel Cancer (Colorectal Cancer) in Kharkiv
Chemotherapy for bowel cancer is an important stage of treatment that helps destroy cancer cells after surgery or control the disease at advanced stages. At the Brigid Medical Center, we have abandoned “one-size-fits-all” treatment. Every patient receives an individualized program based on genetic tumor analysis and international medical standards.
Advantages of treatment at the Brigid Oncology Center
Genetic diagnostics
We analyze the tumor for specific mutations to identify its “weak points” and select the most effective medications.
Precision therapy
We use targeted drugs that act like “guided missiles,” attacking only cancer cells without affecting healthy organs.
Step-by-step treatment planning
We carefully plan every stage so that treatment is as long-lasting as possible while maintaining a high quality of life.
Advanced immunotherapy
For certain types of bowel cancer, we use medications that stimulate the immune system to fight the tumor on its own.
Modern treatment protocols
We follow global regimens (FOLFOX, CAPOX), combining classical chemotherapy with innovative agents.
Continuous monitoring
We monitor your condition using CT, MRI, and tumor marker tests (CEA) to assess treatment response in a timely manner.
What types of chemotherapy do we provide?
The choice of approach depends on the disease stage and tumor location:
- Before surgery: to reduce tumor size (especially in rectal cancer) and facilitate surgical intervention.
- After surgery (adjuvant): prescribed for stages II and III to eliminate microscopic cancer cells and prevent recurrence.
- Therapeutic (conversion) chemotherapy: helps reduce metastases (e.g., in the liver) to a size suitable for surgical removal.
- Maintenance therapy: gentler treatment after the main course to prevent disease progression.
When is bowel chemotherapy prescribed?
Main indications:
- Stage III colon cancer (after tumor removal).
- Rectal cancer (often combined with radiation therapy).
- Presence of metastases in other organs (liver, lungs).
- High risk of recurrence due to aggressive tumor biology or vascular invasion.
We consider all risk factors:
Our multidisciplinary tumor board evaluates not only the stage, but also the patient’s age, comorbidities, and genetic test results. This approach helps avoid unnecessary toxic exposure when it is unlikely to provide benefit.
Care for your well-being during treatment
We know how to minimize discomfort from chemotherapy. At Brigid, comprehensive supportive care programs are in place to manage common side effects:

- Skin and foot care: specialized products to prevent dryness and rashes.
