Chemotherapy~

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is the treatment or prevention of cancer with chemical agents. The chemotherapy IV type can be administered as a syringe, admixture, or a piggyback. Once the subtype (syringe, piggyback, etc.) is selected, the order entry follows the same procedure as the type that corresponds to the selected subtype (example: piggyback type of chemotherapy follows the same entry procedure as regular piggyback IV).
