Cancer is not a single disease, it is the common name of many different diseases. Cancer is a group of diseases that are seen more and more frequently in today's modern life. As the course of each disease is different, the disease progresses differently depending on the age, general condition and even gender of the patient.

Cancer patients are treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Chemotherapy, which constitutes an important part of the treatment of patients; It is the general name of drugs known to be effective for cancer. Oncology, on the other hand, includes drugs used to treat tumors. They show different effects in different tumors and their side effects are also different.

The aim of giving chemotherapy is to destroy the disease, prevent its spread, stop its progression and eliminate the complaints caused by the disease.

Before the chemotherapy decision is made, it is not sufficient to have the diagnosis made pathologically, to be seen with the eye or to be detected by radiological methods. After the pathological diagnosis, some examinations (such as ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, PET-CT, bone scintigraphy, bone marrow examination) should be performed in order to know the extent of your disease.

Chemotherapy works by stopping or slowing the growth of rapidly growing cancer cells that divide into two. But it can also damage healthy cells that divide rapidly, such as the cells that line your mouth and the surface of your intestines or make your hair grow. Damage to healthy cells can cause side effects. Side effects usually improve or disappear at the end of chemotherapy.

The follow-up and treatment of the patients can be done in the Medical Oncology Polyclinic and Chemotherapy Unit of the SANKO University Hospital. Our patients, who are examined in our clinic, can be evaluated with the requested blood and imaging tests, and their treatments can be applied in the inpatient or outpatient chemotherapy unit.
