The
number of chemotherapy courses depends on many factors, such as cancer type, stage, patient's physical condition, etc., so the specific number of chemotherapy courses varies from person to person. For example, if it is early breast cancer, it may need 4-6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy, while advanced lung cancer, colorectal cancer, etc., generally need more courses to kill cancer cells and control the disease. If the patient's physical condition is good, chemotherapy tolerance is good, may be 6-8 times of adjuvant chemotherapy. If the patient's physical function is poor and the discomfort reaction is strong during the treatment process, it is easy to affect the total number of courses.
