What's a chemotherapy course?

A chemotherapy course is the interval between each dose and the subsequent rest period until the start of the next dose.

A chemotherapy course includes a chemotherapy period during which the drug is administered and a chemotherapy interval period during which the drug is recovered. Generally, chemotherapy cycles are three to four weeks long, but the exact length of the cycle depends on the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the chemotherapy drug and the proliferation cycle of the tumor cells. Some drugs require a cycle of two weeks, some require three weeks, and some require four weeks, but the time difference is not significant.

Chemotherapy is an important phase of chemotherapy for cancer patients. It includes chemotherapy and chemotherapy intermission. The specific timing and frequency vary according to the patient's specific conditions and drugs. During chemotherapy, patients need to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan and pay attention to maintaining good mentality and eating habits to improve the treatment effect and quality of life.
