Combating Chemotherapy Myths
Dr. Sai clarifies that chemotherapy has evolved significantly over the past 30-40 years. Modern medications help manage side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and weakness.
Tailored Chemotherapy Regimens
It should be noted that chemotherapy regimens are customized based on the specific cancer being treated. For example, the regimen for oral cancer differs from that used for stomach cancer. While some regimens may cause more side effects, proper dosage adjustments can minimize these effects.
