The Cycle of chemotherapy


Cycle of chemotherapy is the time required for the provision of chemotherapy. For one cycle is generally every 3 or 4 weeks, but some are every week. It was determined for each type of cancer how many cycles should be given and how the interval of time between cycles.
For example, breast cancer is usually given 6 cycles of chemotherapy with inter-cycle interval is every 3 weeks. This means that breast cancer patients should undergo chemotherapy 6 times until the completion of chemotherapy given.

Suppose the first chemotherapy given at 1 October 2010, then the patient should be carried out both chemotherapy on October 22, 2010, as well as onwards to chemotherapy to 3, 4, 5, 6, the patient should come once every 3 weeks to the hospital.

The number of chemotherapy also has been set for each cancer. There are 4 times, 6 times, 12 times, etc... The amount of this provision should not be negotiable.
Ruling in the provision of chemotherapy is given all or nothing. When given only once or twice only, no benefits, because the cancer cannot be cured even become more resistant or resistant to the next chemotherapy, besides the side effects are also great but does not provide benefits, as well as economically wasteful and unnecessary costs just a waste of time.

Another effect is that it can only thrive cancer and stage of cancer increases, which had stage two to stage four, for example. It could also be a relapse of cancer in it’s place it grew up.
Given these chemotherapies are highly variable, too many side effects and weight, then giving chemotherapies cannot be given by any doctor. Only doctors who have really understood the provision of chemotherapy which generally deal with chemotherapy.
