Chemotherapy Room<\/h3>\n

Chemotherapy involves the use of anticancer drugs to treat cancer. While cancer treatment includes various modalities such as surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and immunotherapy, chemotherapy remains a cornerstone of treatment. Our hospital actively incorporates chemotherapy for cancer patients. Our specialists primarily administer appropriate chemotherapy regimens for various types of cancer, including gastric and colorectal cancer, in strict accordance with clinical guidelines. Each regimen\u2014whether administered in an outpatient setting or requiring hospitalization\u2014is reviewed by our Chemotherapy Committee to ensure careful implementation with full consideration of the patient’s Quality of Life (QOL).<\/p>\n
