Drug Therapies for Breast Cancer
We treat breast cancer with several types of medicine. Alone or in combination with each other, drug therapies can stop or kill cancer cells.
Drug Therapies: Expertise Required
Chemo, hormones, and targeted therapies have complicated interactions and side effects. At UVA, our doctors have in-depth experience in figuring out the best approach for each person.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy kills cancer cells or stops their growth. The drugs go into your bloodstream. This means they can reach cancer throughout your body.
