What is the difference between neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy?
The primary difference between neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy is when the treatment is administered in relation to the main surgery.
- Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is given before surgery. The goal is to shrink a tumor so that it can be removed more easily, or to make a surgery less invasive. It can also help doctors see how well the cancer responds to the drugs.
- Adjuvant chemotherapy is given after surgery. The goal is to kill any remaining cancer cells that might have been left behind or that may have spread to other parts of the body, which helps reduce the risk of the cancer coming back.
Both approaches are used to improve the overall success of treatment, but they serve different strategic purposes depending on the size, type, and stage of the cancer.
