Overview
Chemotherapy is also used as a radio-sensitizing agent with radiation to control a recurrent tumor and to treat patients who can no longer tolerate radiation therapy.
Cancer chemotherapy can consist of one drug or a group of drugs that work together (combination chemotherapy). A treatment plan that also includes surgery and/or radiation therapy is called combined modality treatment. In adjuvant chemotherapy, anticancer drugs are used (after another treatment) to destroy any cancer cells that may remain after surgery or radiation therapy.
Chemotherapy is not an effective initial treatment for low-grade brain tumors, mostly because standard drugs cannot pass through the blood-brain barrier. In general, chemotherapy for brain tumors is usually administered following surgery or radiation therapy. It is often given as salvage therapy for recurrent or slowly progressing cancers in patients who have previously been treated. Chemotherapy is usually given in cycles. A treatment period is followed by a recovery period, then another treatment period and so on.
