Chemotherapy Care Designed Around You
Chemotherapy uses powerful medicines to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing and dividing. At QURE Center for complete care, every chemotherapy plan is designed around your diagnosis, stage, age, and overall health and is given by trained oncology nurses under specialist supervision.
The goal of treatment may be to cure the cancer, control it and prevent spread, or relieve symptoms (palliative care).

Conditions Treated: Who needs it?
Chemotherapy is used for many conditions, including:
- Leukaemias and lymphomas
- Multiple myeloma
- Breast, lung, colon, ovarian and other solid tumours
- Childhood cancers
- Preparation (conditioning) before a stem cell or bone marrow transplant
It may be given alone, before surgery to shrink a tumour, after surgery to remove remaining cells, or together with radiation or immunotherapy.
How it works?
Cancer cells divide much faster than most normal cells. Chemotherapy drugs target cells that are dividing rapidly. Because some healthy cells also divide quickly (hair, mouth lining, blood cells), these are the cells most often affected, which explains many side effects.
Treatment is given in cycles: a few days of treatment followed by a rest period so your body can recover.
Before the procedure
Blood tests (blood counts, kidney and liver function) and sometimes scans or a heart evaluation
Review of all your current medicines and allergies
Detailed discussion of the plan, benefits, and risks, and written consent
Dental check and treatment of any infection beforehand, if advised
Eat a light meal, drink plenty of fluids, and bring a companion, snacks, and something to keep you occupied
What happens during chemotherapy?
1
Your vitals and blood reports are checked on arrival.
2
A nurse places an IV line or uses your port.
3
Anti-nausea and other supportive medicines are given first.
4
The chemotherapy drugs are infused slowly while you are monitored.
5
The line is flushed and removed, and you rest before going home.
A session can take from under an hour to several hours, and some regimens need a hospital stay of a few days.

- Drink plenty of fluids and eat small, frequent, nutritious meals
- Practice good hand hygiene and avoid crowds and sick contacts
- Use a soft toothbrush and rinse your mouth regularly
