Abstract
While the use of targeted therapies such as monoclonal antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immunotherapies is increasing in medical oncology, the cornerstone of therapy in both the curative and palliative settings remains cytotoxic chemotherapy. This chapter will review the core principles of combination chemotherapy including scheduling, dosing and clinical uses. In addition, a brief overview of resistance to therapy and a general overview of commonly used medications is provided.
