Chemotherapy is an attacking form of some chemical drug therapy that is specially meant to destroy the rapidly growing cells in the body. Well, the therapy is normally used to treat cancer, as these cancer cells grow and divide faster than any other cell. It is also known as ‘Chemo.’ Chemotherapy is a process of using anticancer drugs designed to slow down or halt the growth of quickly dividing cancer cells in the body.

What are the Different Chemotherapy Delivery Methods?

Some of the chemotherapy delivery methods include:

• Oral method (by mouth as a liquid or pill)
• Intravenously method (by infusion into a vein)
• Topically method (applying as a cream on the skin)
• Injection
• Direct placement method (through a lumbar puncture or a device placed under the scalp)

When drugs move through the bloodstream to reach cells throughout the body, it is known as systemic chemotherapy. Whereas, when chemotherapy drugs are directed to any specific area of the body, it is known as regional chemotherapy.
