All You Need To Know About Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment in which one or more chemotherapeutic agents are administered as a part of the treatment. Chemotherapeutic agents are drugs that directly or indirectly inhibit the growth of rapidly dividing cells, mostly malignant or cancer cells. This therapy is given with the intent to cure the patient, prolong their lifespan, or reduce the symptoms.

To identify and ensure the type of cancer an individual is suffering from, specific screening tests are conducted with the aim of early detection and treatment. Some of these tests are:

  • Pap test
  • Colonoscopy
  • Blood Test
  • Biopsy
  • Chest radiograph
  • Rectal examination

The type and dosage of chemotherapeutic agents administered are dependent on various factors such as type of cancer, where it first showed up in the body, age, etc.

Chemotherapy Drugs Classification
  • Alkylating agents: They damage the DNA strand and prevent mitosis in cells. They are used for the treatment of various types of cancers such as leukemia, lymphomas, sarcoma, etc.
  • Anti-metabolites: They interfere with the cell replication and proliferation process. There are various subclasses within this class such as folate antagonists, purine antagonists, and pyrimidine antagonists.
  • Anti-tumor antibiotics: They inhibit enzymes responsible for DNA replication.
  • Topoisomerase inhibitors: They inhibit the enzyme topoisomerase 1 or 2 responsible for facilitating DNA replication, thereby inhibiting replication in the host.
  • Plant Alkaloids: They are derived from plants, they act by inhibiting mitosis cell division, and are also known as mitotic inhibitors.
  • Corticosteroids: This class includes hormones and their analogs as a part of treatment.
