Chemotherapy is a medical treatment that uses powerful drugs to kill fast-growing cells in the body. It is commonly used to treat cancer by targeting and destroying cancer cells that divide quickly. Chemotherapy can be given orally or through injections and IV drips, and it works throughout the body to shrink tumors, prevent cancer from spreading, or slow its growth. Even though it is effective, chemotherapy can also affect healthy cells, leading to side effects like hair loss, nausea, and fatigue. Treatment plans often combine different chemotherapy drugs and may be used alongside surgery, radiation therapy, or other treatments to manage cancer effectively.
