There are several treatment options available in medical oncology. Some of them are:
Chemotherapy is one of the important treatment options in the management of cancer. As soon as the cancer is diagnosed, the doctor develops a treatment strategy for the patient based on the type and stage of the cancer. If the patient delays or stops the treatment, cancer may progress to the next stage, and more aggressive treatment is required.
The side effects of treatment in medical oncology are based on the type and stage of cancer and the type of treatment options used. Some of the common side effects are:
The patients may require around 6-12 months to completely recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. To improve the speed of therapy, the oncologists advise the patients to enroll themselves in the rehabilitation program. Several activities in the rehabilitation center, such as yoga, meditation, exercise, and psychological and diet counseling, assist the patient in improving their quality of life and managing the side effects of chemotherapy.
