Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adjuvant therapy is given to patients with cancer who are free of signs of the disease to ensure eradication of undetected cells and diminish recurrence of the cancer. It is typically given after surgical removal of the cancer or completion of radiation therapy. It does not stabilize normal cells or reduce the extent of the tumor before surgery or radiation, nor does it change the pH of the system to inhibit cell growth.
