Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy uses anti cancer (cytoxic) drugs to destroy cancer cells. It can shrink a tumour before surgery or radiotherapy. Or you can have it alongside radiotherapy. This is called chemoradiotherapy.
Sometimes you have chemotherapy to treat advanced cancer, or cancer that has come back.

Chemoradiotherapy for laryngeal cancer
Treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy together is called chemoradiotherapy. Having the two treatments together often works better than having them on their own.
