Following initial cancer treatment, further cancer treatment is administered to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and to improve the success of first-line treatment. Adjuvant chemotherapy is administered to remove a malignant tumor. Chemotherapy, radiation, hormone treatment, targeted therapy, and biological therapy are all examples of adjuvant therapy.

Adjuvant Chemotherapy is the name used for this treatment.
The location of the tumor in the body.

Some risks of adjuvant chemotherapy include:
To mitigate these side effects, your oncologist will suggest special rehabilitation measures. Anyone who has received chemotherapy should ensure they get the appropriate amount of sleep. If possible, patients should get at least eight hours of sleep. To help induce sleep, recovering patients should refrain from consuming beverages containing caffeine or similar foods for at least eight hours prior to retiring for the night. After chemotherapy, you should also try to manage your stress levels. Reducing stress is one of the most effective methods to unwind and feel at ease. Meditation can assist in clearing the mind and redirecting the patient's attention away from the source of their stress. After a patient finishes chemotherapy, it may take 6 to 12 months to return to a state of normalcy.
