Medical Conditions - Chemoprophylaxis

Chemoprophylaxis in general refers to taking a medicine to prevent a disease from occurring. For instance, antibiotics are given as chemoprophylaxis before surgery to prevent possible infections and promote wound healing. In cancer treatment, chemoprophylaxis involved administering a definite dose of anticancer drugs to prevent or delay the recurrence of certain cancers after treatment.
