Chemotherapy
Powerful medicine, guided with care
Chemotherapy uses medicines to destroy fast-growing cancer cells in the body. It can be given through an IV drip, injection, or oral pills depending on the cancer type. It is often combined with surgery or radiation for the best outcome. Dr. Gundu carefully tailors the chemotherapy plan for Lakshmi to suit her health needs.
