What Does HDC Stand For?
HDC stands for High Dose Chemotherapy
HDC, or High Dose Chemotherapy, refers to a treatment approach that involves administering higher-than-normal doses of chemotherapy agents to effectively target and kill cancer cells. This method is typically used in conjunction with stem cell or bone marrow transplants, particularly for aggressive cancers such as leukemia and certain types of lymphoma, to improve treatment outcomes. HDC aims to overcome drug resistance and maximize the therapeutic efficacy, although it may also lead to increased side effects that require careful management.
