Chemotherapy
Suggested Links:
Chemotherapy - the use of drugs that kill cancer - may be administered before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy), after surgery (adjuvant therapy), or in combination with radiation therapy. Patients who cannot tolerate surgery - as well as those with small cell lung cancer - may receive chemotherapy as the primary treatment, or in combination with radiation therapy.
The latest chemotherapy agents are offered at John Muir Health, and we make sure that newly approved drugs are made available to our patients as quickly as possible. Through our active research program, with regional and national affiliations, John Muir Health also ensures that patients have access to investigational options.
