R-CHOP is a treatment regimen used to treat non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). It is a type of chemoimmunotherapy, combining chemotherapy drugs with a targeted therapy and a steroid drug.
Here's a breakdown:
- Chemotherapy: This involves using drugs to kill cancer cells.
- Targeted Therapy: This uses drugs that specifically target cancer cells, often in combination with chemotherapy, enhancing the effect.
- Steroid: Added to the regimen for its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
