Welcome to the myCALQUENCE patient website. This website will provide you with information to help you on your CALQUENCE® journey. Treatment is a journey. A journey that has many highs and lows, and can seem, at times, overwhelming. Yet, you have made an important and brave first step: learning more about the disease, the treatment options available, and the many resources you and your loved ones have access to.
LISTEN TO A CALQUENCE® PATIENTS TREATMENT JOURNEY
CALQUENCE® is a targeted alternative to traditional chemotherapy that helps fight cancer cells.
Targeted therapy differs from other treatments you may have heard of, like traditional chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that kills fast-growing cells in the body. Because cancer cells usually grow and divide faster than normal cells, chemotherapy has more of an effect on cancer cells.
However, the drugs used for chemotherapy are powerful, and they can often cause damage to healthy cells.
The “Taking CALQUENCE®” section of this website details ‘How CALQUENCE® works’.
