Question
My father has cancer, and the doctor suggested intravenous chemotherapy. However, I’m not familiar with the meaning of intravenous chemotherapy. Can you explain what it means?
Answer
Intravenous chemotherapy is one of the most widely used methods in the treatment of malignant tumors. Most chemotherapy drugs require administration through intravenous infusion or injection. In combination chemotherapy, intravenous chemotherapy is a common approach, with commonly used drugs including cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, cisplatin, carboplatin, Vpl6, paclitaxel, epirubicin, daunorubicin, aclacinomycin, mitomycin, actinomycin D, harringtonine, and hydroxycamptothecine.
