Chemotherapy For Breast Cancer

Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer Treatment can be given before or after surgery. It involves using anti-cancer (cytotoxic) drugs to kill the cancer cells. Chemotherapy is usually used after surgery to destroy any cancer cells that have not been removed. This is called adjuvant chemotherapy. In some cases, you may have chemotherapy before surgery, which is generally used to shrink a large tumor. This is called neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.
