Intensive treatment:

Intensive treatments are strong treatments and require the use of strong drugs to stop the spread of cancer cells. Primary examples of intensive treatment are as follows:

• Heavy dose chemotherapy: In this procedure, heavy dosage of drugs are used to kill the cancer cells.
• Standard chemotherapy dose: The use of cancer cell-killing drugs that stops the infected cells from multiplying.
• Stem cell transplantation: High doses of cancer killing drug, chemo is used to kill the affected cells from the bone marrow or lymph nodes. Then new stem cells from a donor or from yourself are introduced to the body through a drip. The new stem cells will then be producing fresh blood cells.
• Radiotherapy: It is the use of radioactive rays to kill cancer cells from a certain area of a body part. (Primary treatment for lymphoma).
• Surgery: Surgery is a rare occurrence. Splenectomy, the removal of spleen is performed if required.

Be it short or long term, all these treatments are linked with a number of side effects.
