Personalised treatment to fight cancer while supporting your quality of life.
Chemotherapy uses medicine to destroy cancer cells, slow their growth, and reduce the risk of recurrence. At OncoCare Singapore, our experienced oncologists design individualised chemotherapy plans guided by international standards and delivered in a safe, comfortable environment.
Chemotherapy is a treatment that uses medicines to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing. It may be given on its own or in combination with surgery, radiation, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy.
At OncoCare Singapore, each chemotherapy plan is personalised based on your cancer type, stage, and overall health to ensure maximum effectiveness with minimal side effects.
Chemotherapy may be recommended at different stages of treatment:
Chemotherapy may be used at different stages of a patient’s cancer journey:
Most treatments are done on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.
Chemotherapy affects both cancer and healthy cells, which may cause temporary side effects such as fatigue, nausea, hair loss, lowered blood counts, or infection risk.
Our team provides integrated supportive care:
Review of diagnosis, medical history, and goals of care.
Personalised chemotherapy regimen and schedule.
Infusion or oral medicines under close supervision.
Regular tests and scans to track progress.
Post-treatment support and survivorship care.
Most patients feel only mild discomfort from the IV line. The medicines themselves are not painful.
Many patients do, though rest and flexibility may be needed depending on side effects.
Hair loss depends on the drug used. Scalp cooling may help reduce it.
