Chemotherapy Antitumor Regional

Regional antitumor chemotherapy is a method of treating malignant neoplasms in which drugs are injected directly into the tumor area or into nearby tissues to create a high concentration of the drug and reduce the toxic effect on healthy organs and tissues.

Unlike systemic chemotherapy, in which drugs are injected into the blood and carried throughout the body, regional chemotherapy creates a higher concentration of the drug directly at the site of the tumor. This allows you to increase the effectiveness of treatment and reduce the risk of side effects.

Various methods are used to administer regional chemotherapy, including injections, catheterization, laser therapy, and others. The choice of method depends on the type of tumor, its size and location, as well as the individual characteristics of the patient.

One of the main advantages of regional chemotherapy is the ability to more accurately dose the drug, which reduces the risk of complications and improves treatment results. Additionally, regional therapy may be more effective in treating tumors that cannot be treated systemically due to their location or size.

However, like any other form of chemotherapy, regional therapy also has its risks and side effects. Some patients may experience pain, swelling and inflammation at the injection site, as well as decreased kidney and liver function. Therefore, before performing regional therapy, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination and evaluate the risks and benefits of this treatment method.

Regional antitumor chemotherapy is a treatment used in the treatment of cancer associated with the appearance of cancer cells in the body. During this treatment, the doctor injects drugs into a person's regional blood vessels to create a high concentration of drugs only in the area of ​​the body where cancer cells are developing. The goal of this type of therapy is to reduce the toxic effects on the body by reducing the amount of drugs that are delivered to the human body. Chemotherapy is used to improve a person's condition and increase his life expectancy, but it has its side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss, etc. Despite the fact that this type of treatment is one of the most effective ways to fight cancer, it also has many restrictions and contraindications, so all its possible side effects should be discussed with your doctor in advance.
