Treatment

Chemoradiotherapy

  • This therapy involves a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
  • The combination therapy has been shown to provide greater benefits than either of the individual therapies.
  • The treatment cycles, the type of drug, drug and radiation doses are decided after considering the disease status, the patients response to previous therapy and the overall health status of the patient.
