Day care chemotherapy
Day care chemotherapy refers to the administration of chemotherapy in a hospital or specialized clinic setting where patients receive their treatment during the day and can return home the same day.
It’s designed to be more convenient and less disruptive, allowing patients to avoid overnight stays in the hospital.

Features of Day Care Chemotherapy
Short Visits
Chemotherapy sessions can last from a few hours to an entire day, depending on the type and duration of treatment. After the session, patients are free to leave.
Less Invasive
Because there's no need for an overnight stay, this approach reduces the emotional and logistical burden of hospitalization.
Monitored Environment
Despite being outpatient, patients are closely monitored by healthcare professionals during the infusion to manage any immediate side effects.
Supportive Care
Patients can receive medications for nausea, hydration, or other supportive treatments to ease the side effects of chemotherapy.
Who Benefits from Day Care Chemotherapy
- Patients in early-stage cancer : For those requiring standard, shorter chemotherapy regimens, this can be an ideal option.
- Those needing maintenance therapy : Long-term, lower-dose treatments, or therapies to keep cancer at bay (often used in metastatic settings) are well-suited to day care.
- Well-managed side effects : Patients whose bodies can handle chemotherapy without major complications or the need for constant medical supervision often receive day care treatments.
