Adjuvant therapy refers to additional cancer treatment given after the primary treatment to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and enhance the effectiveness of the initial therapy. Adjuvant chemotherapy specifically targets the removal of malignant tumors. Various types of adjuvant therapies include chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and biological therapy.
Depending on the type of therapy, treatments may be delivered through oral medications, injections, radiation, or other advanced methods.
