Chemotherapy treatments may be given in the following
locations:
- hospital
- doctor's office
- outpatient clinic
- home
- workplace
The type of health insurance you have, your personal
preference, convenience, the type of drugs to be used, and how the
drugs are to be given must all be considered when choosing the best
place to get chemotherapy. For example, a chemotherapy regimen that
requires placement of a special intravenous catheter and infusion over
24 hours or longer may need to be done in a hospital. The specific
drugs and their doses, as well as your general state of health, will
determine the expected side effects and how closely you need to be
monitored during treatment.
