Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy
- Chemotherapy uses drugs to destroy fast-growing cells, such as cancer cells.
- If the cancer has a high risk of spreading to another part of the body, the patient may be recommended to undergo chemotherapy, after surgery to decrease the chance of recurrence.
- Chemotherapy is sometimes given before surgery in women with larger breast tumours to downstage tumours. The goal is to shrink a tumour to a size that makes it easier to remove with surgery.
- Chemotherapy is also used in women whose cancer has already spread to other parts of the body.
