Overview

Aggressive chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment in which a large dose of chemotherapy is given to a patient in order to significantly reduce the risk of the cancer returning or spreading. This type of treatment is usually used in cases where the cancer is advanced, aggressive, or resistant to other methods of treatment such as surgery or radiation. The goal of aggressive chemotherapy is to reduce the size of the tumor and kill any remaining cancer cells. It can also be used to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. While aggressive chemotherapy can have some serious side effects, it can be a very effective way of treating certain types of cancer.
