What are the basic types of chemotherapy?

Christian Cable, Dr. Ryan Osborne & Dr. Noam Z. Drazin (Cancer Experts) gives expert video advice on: What is 'chemotherapy'?; What are the basic types of chemotherapy?; How does chemotherapy work? and more...

The basic classifications of chemo -- there are two ways to think about it. One is you can think about it simply as medicines that you have to take through your veins. They're usually delivered by a central line, which is an IV line which can stay in the body for weeks to months at a time. And then there is oral chemotherapy. And one mistake I see people make is, they think just because this is a pill, it's not very potent. All chemotherapy has to be respected. The pill forms of chemotherapy are just as potent, can cause just as many side effects.
