Chemotherapy, in its most general sense, is the
treatment of disease by chemicals[1] especially
by killing micro-organisms or cancerous cells.
In popular usage, it refers to antineoplastic
drugs used to treat cancer or the combination of
these drugs into a cytotoxic standardized
treatment regimen.
Radiation therapy is commonly applied to the
cancerous tumor. The radiation fields may also
include the draining lymph nodes if they are
clinically or radiologically involved with
tumor, or if there is thought to be a risk of
subclinical malignant spread. It is necessary to
include a margin of normal tissue around the
tumor to allow for uncertainties in daily set-up
and internal tumor motion. These uncertainties
can be caused by internal movement (for example,
respiration and bladder filling) and movement of
external skin marks relative to the tumor
position.
Note : As the cost varies from patient to
patient no definite cost can be given, however an exact estimate
can be obtained by sending detailed consultation and
Investigation reports.
