Chemotherapy is usually given in cycles, and the amount of cycles and length of each depends on the type of cancer or disease the chemotherapy is being administered for. It can last anywhere from a one-time treatment to commonly one year. This time may increase as the diagnoses changes, disease progresses or the response to chemotherapy fluctuates.

The physical administration of chemotherapy may not be very long at all. Taken orally and through direct injections it only lasts as long as the act while an IV drip may take a few hours.
