Chemo cycles क्यों होते हैं? | Why Chemo is Given in Cycles & Not Continuously! | Dr Praveen Kammar

Hello friends, I am Dr Praveen Kammar and One of the most common questions I get from patients is why chemotherapy is given in cycles with gaps rather than continuously. Many people assume that taking chemotherapy without breaks might be more effective in killing cancer cells. But in reality, chemotherapy must be carefully timed to balance effectiveness and minimize harm to the body.

What is a Chemotherapy Cycle?
Chemotherapy is given in cycles with planned gaps to balance effectiveness and minimize harm. The schedule includes details on drug combinations and frequency.

Why Can’t Chemotherapy Be Continuous?
Chemo drugs kill fast-dividing cells, affecting normal tissues like hair follicles, digestive lining, and bone marrow. Gaps allow normal cells to recover.

How Do Chemotherapy Drugs Work?
Chemotherapy targets rapidly multiplying cells. Some drugs affect specific organs, like Cisplatin (kidneys, hearing) and Oxaliplatin (nerve damage).

Why is the Gap Between Chemotherapy Cycles Important?
The gap helps normal cells regenerate while killing cancer. If too long, cancer may regrow or develop resistance. Most gaps last 2-3 weeks.

What Happens if a Chemotherapy Cycle is Delayed?
Delays can reduce effectiveness, allowing cancer to return or develop resistance. Always follow your oncologist’s schedule.

Different Types of Chemotherapy Schedules
Single-drug or two-drug chemo every 2-3 weeks.
Multi-drug chemo with additional doses on the 8th or 15th day.

Final Thoughts
Chemotherapy cycles are scientifically designed to improve outcomes. Follow your schedule and consult your doctor for any concerns.
