Adjuvant (meaning âin addition toâ) chemotherapy refers to medicines administered after surgery for the treatment of breast cancer. Adjuvant chemotherapy is designed to prevent recurrence of the disease, particularly distant recurrence.
When chemotherapy is used before surgery or radiation, it is known as primary chemotherapy or neoadjuvant chemotherapy.. An advantage of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is that since the cancer cells have not been exposed to anti-cancer drugs, they are especially vulnerable.
