About Adjuvant Chemotherapy (per cycle)
Adjuvant chemotherapy is given after surgery to lower the chance that cancer returns. It is delivered as a planned series of cycles chosen for the cancer type and stage.
A cycle is a set of days of treatment followed by a rest period to let the body recover, commonly two to four weeks in total. Drugs are given as an infusion into a vein or as tablets, in a day unit. The regimen, the number of cycles and the timing, usually starting some weeks after surgery, depend on the cancer's type and stage.
Usually a good fit if
- Cancer removed by surgery but with a risk of returning, such as colon, breast, stomach or lung cancer at certain stages.
- Pathology showing lymph node involvement or high-risk features.
- Patients who have recovered from surgery, usually within about six to eight weeks.
- Good enough fitness and blood counts to tolerate treatment.
May need to wait if
- Poor blood counts or serious kidney, liver or heart problems needing correction.
- Active infection.
- Pregnancy, which needs specialist advice.
- Cancers where adjuvant chemotherapy gives no proven benefit.
How to prepare
- Bring the pathology report, scan reports and operation summary from your cancer surgery.
- Tell the team about all medicines and supplements, as some interact with chemotherapy. Do not stop any unless your doctor instructs you.
- Expect blood counts, kidney and liver tests, and sometimes heart tests before each cycle.
- Have dental problems treated before starting if possible.
- Discuss fertility preservation, contraception and vaccinations with your oncologist.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Why do I need chemotherapy, and what is the expected benefit?
- Which drugs, how many cycles and over what period?
- What side effects should I expect, and how are they treated?
- What blood tests do I need between cycles, and can they be done at home?
- How will you manage nausea, low blood counts and infection risk?
- Can I complete the course in my home country?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Chemotherapy started without pathology and staging review.
- No oncologist-led plan for the whole course.
- No plan for managing fever or low blood counts.
- Chemotherapy given with no blood tests beforehand.
