Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between chemotherapy and immunotherapy?
Chemotherapy uses cytotoxic drugs to kill rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells. Immunotherapy works by stimulating or directing the patient's own immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Some patients receive one, the other, or a combination depending on the cancer type.
Will I lose my hair during cancer treatment?
Hair loss depends on the type of treatment used. Some chemotherapy regimens cause significant hair loss, while others do not. Immunotherapy and targeted therapies typically do not cause hair loss. Your oncologist will discuss what to expect from your specific treatment plan.
What does remission mean?
Remission means that cancer signs and symptoms have reduced significantly or are undetectable on testing. Complete remission means no cancer can be detected. Remission does not always mean cure, and follow-up monitoring continues to detect any recurrence early.
