Skin cancer treatment with chemotherapy

Skin cancer treatment with chemotherapy is traditionally considered one of the best methods for patients with metastasis. Among medications for skin cancer treatment with chemotherapy in the modern world are: Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, Carboplatin, and many others. Most often, oncologists prefer to prescribe a few medications simultaneously during a curse of chemotherapy. Before starting the treatment, it’s essential to carefully examine the patient’s condition to ensure their organism is strong enough to overcome the general toxic effects. So, medical practitioners prescribe various lab tests before and during chemotherapy. Medications are primarily delivered into the patient’s organism via intravenous injections and infusions, but pills are also available for certain drugs. In some cases, the patient might require a chemotherapy port (a unique device that helps to deliver drugs more effectively and without excessively damaging blood vessels). To get decent results, some patients require up to 4-8 courses of chemotherapy. If the patient’s condition is good enough, chemotherapy might often become a part of combined therapy. Recent studies show the high efficiency of immune therapy combined with chemo and chemotherapy combinations with targeted drugs for successful skin cancer therapy.
