Chemotherapy, Adjuvant
Drug therapy given to augment or stimulate some other form of treatment such as surgery or radiation therapy. Adjuvant chemotherapy is commonly used in the therapy of cancer and can be administered before or after the primary treatment.
Radiotherapy, Adjuvant
Radiotherapy given to augment some other form of treatment such as surgery or chemotherapy. Adjuvant radiotherapy is commonly used in the therapy of cancer and can be administered before or after the primary treatment.
Chemoradiotherapy, Adjuvant
Combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy given to augment some other form of treatment such as surgery. It is commonly used in the therapy of cancer.
Cystaphos
Proposed as an adjuvant to cancer chemotherapy; may have radiation protective properties.
Second-look Surgery
A followup operation to examine the outcome of the previous surgery and other treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
