chemo generations
Hi, just wondering how you know what 'generation' of chemo you have. Eg I had 16 rounds of ACT - 4 AC & 12 T. I believe this can effect your risk of recurrence. Thanks in advance
Hello@beccabecca the chemotherapy generations refer to the changes over time as a result of research and the benefits found with combinations of chemotherapy agents. Treatment is based on individual pathology and a range of other considerations. If you have any questions about your regime and why it is chosen for you it is a very worthwhile discussion to have with your oncologist. The following article talks about the generations of chemotherapy and advances in knowledge over time https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12916-015-0439-8
