Types of chemotherapy which are applied to control skin cancer

Type of chemo	Why is it used?
Control cancer	It is used for cancer treatment and does not spread to other parts of the body, as it occurs in metastatic patients, slowing down the process or destroying the malignant cells that have been already scattered to the other sites inside the body
Cure cancer	When the drugs are delivered by chemotherapy they completely destroy the cancer cells and they can no longer be detected inside the patient’s body
Palliative care	Often used to shrink tumors when they are provoking pain to the patient, and the cure is not possible to be achieved
