Chemotherapy is a treatment that uses chemical
compounds, known as chemotherapeutic agents, to
combat cancer and diseases caused by biological
agents. It can be administered alone or in combination
with other treatments, such as surgery and radiotherapy.

weakness, and mucositis, varying according to the class
of the chemotherapeutic agent, dosage, and interval
between cycles;
III.Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is used exclusively after
surgery to eliminate residual cancer cells and prevent metastasis. (In fact, it is used before surgery to reduce
the tumor).
