Oral chemotherapy pills are an alternative to traditional intravenous chemotherapy in certain cases. They’re targeted treatments designed for specific cancer types based on cellular markers. While convenient, they’re not suitable for all cancers or patients. Effectiveness depends on the cancer’s molecular profile and stage. Oral chemo requires strict adherence to dosing schedules and may have different side effects. Always consult your oncologist to determine if this option is appropriate for your situation.
