Chemotherapy is a drug or combination of drugs that kills cancer cells wherever they are in the body. For most people, surgery alone is not enough to eliminate peritoneal mesothelioma, and one of our medical oncologists will discuss chemotherapy as an additional treatment option for you.
For example, chemotherapy drugs can be administered directly into the abdominal area after your operation. Or if your disease is advanced, our doctors may recommend that you undergo chemotherapy in systemic form that you receive through an IV (intravenously).
Our physicians understand the subtleties of chemotherapy regimens and personalize your treatment, optimizing its strength while minimizing side effects as much as possible.
