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.

Chemotherapy is primarily designed to target and kill cancer cells, so it is generally not effective for benign tumors, which are non-cancerous and do not spread. Benign tumors typically do not require treatment unless they cause symptoms or complications; in such cases, surgical removal is often the preferred option. While some treatments can have an indirect effect on tumor size, chemotherapy is not used for benign tumors.
What does it mean when a tumor is described as benign?
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.
