As an oncologist, I can tell you that the duration of a chemotherapy session can vary greatly. It's important to note that the length and frequency of treatment are tailored to the individual patient's needs, which are determined by the type of cancer, its stage, and the specific chemotherapy regimen chosen. Some chemotherapy drugs can be administered relatively quickly, perhaps within 30 minutes to an hour, while others might require a longer infusion time, which can extend to three or four hours. In some cases, chemotherapy can even be given over the course of a full day or be administered in a way that requires the patient to return for multiple sessions over several days. Your oncologist will be able to provide a more precise estimate of the time required for your chemotherapy during your initial consultation. read more >>
