Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is a type of treatment for cancer. It involves using medication to destroy cancer cells or slow down their growth. This treatment aims to destroy the rapidly dividing cancer cells, a common characteristic of cancer cells. Chemotherapy it can also affect healthy cells that divide quickly, leading to side effects. Chemotherapy can be administered through various methods, including orally, intravenously, or via injections, and it may be used alone or in combination with other treatments such as surgery or radiation therapy. The specific drugs, dosages, and treatment schedules depend on the type of cancer, its stage, and the patient’s overall health. While chemotherapy has been instrumental in treating many types of cancer, researchers continue to develop newer, more targeted therapies to reduce side effects and improve outcomes for patients.
