Methods for Administering Chemotherapy
There are several ways to administer chemotherapy to a patient: a pill to swallow, an intravenous injection into the muscle or fat tissue, and applied topically, explains Alicia Soler-Cancio, Advanced Practice Provider for the Survivorship Program with Miami Cancer Institute.
Side effects depend on the type of medication the patient receives.
The method is evaluated by the doctor and depending on the type of cancer the patient has, the specialist prescribes treatment.
