Anticancer drugs can be administered in several ways, depending on the type of cancer, the drug being used, and the patient's overall health:
- Oral: Some drugs are available in pill form, making them easier to take. - Intravenous (IV): Many anticancer drugs are given through an IV, allowing for quick and efficient delivery into the bloodstream. - Intramuscular (IM): Some drugs are injected directly into a muscle. - Topical: For certain types of skin cancer, drugs may be applied directly to the skin.
