Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer cells. These drugs are often administered intravenously, but can also be given orally or topically. Chemotherapy drugs work by targeting rapidly dividing cells, which includes cancer cells, but can also affect healthy cells in the body.
There are many different chemotherapy drugs, and they are often used in combination with other treatments such as surgery and radiation therapy. The specific chemotherapy drugs used and the treatment regimen will depend on the type of cancer being treated, the stage of the cancer, and other factors.
While chemotherapy can be very effective in killing cancer cells, it can also have side effects because it can also affect normal, healthy cells in the body. Some common side effects of chemotherapy include nausea, vomiting, hair loss, fatigue, and increased risk of infection. However, advances in chemotherapy drug development and supportive care measures have improved the management of these side effects.
