Benign chemotherapy refers to a treatment approach that uses lower doses of chemotherapy drugs to minimize side effects while still effectively targeting cancer cells. This method aims to reduce the toxicity associated with traditional chemotherapy, making it more tolerable for patients. It may be particularly beneficial for those with less aggressive cancers or for patients who are more sensitive to standard dosages. The goal is to maintain quality of life while managing the disease.
A benign growth on the lungs would not be treated by chemotherapy. Benign means noncancerous. A biopsy would determine if a growth is benign. Talk to your lung doctor about options for your treatment.
It means that it's non life-threatening. Malignant tumours are ones that can go on to attack healthy organ and body tissue and weaken or destroy their ability to function; benign tumours do not do this, their uncontrolled growth takes place in a harmless way that is not dangerous and is not attacking the body's vital functions. However, there is a danger that benign tumours can BECOME malignant if they are not destroyed, either by surgical removal or via chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy given by intramuscular injection is absorbed into the blood more slowly than IV chemotherapy. Because of this, the effects of IM chemotherapy may last longer than chemotherapy given intravenously.
Luckily, the tumor was benign.
benign means cancerous in most cases...ex. doctors will tell if a tumor is benign or not...if it is benign...it contains no cancer cells.....if it is not...then you get the idea..... Benign means non cancerous.
