Chemotherapy

Health Care Term


Chemotherapy is a medical treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer cells in the body. These drugs are administered orally or through different methods, including intravenous injection, injection into a specific body cavity, or topical application.

Chemotherapy drugs work by attacking the fast-growing cells in the body, such as cancer cells, and preventing them from dividing and multiplying. However, they can also damage healthy cells, causing side effects such as hair loss, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.

Chemotherapy is used as a primary treatment for some cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, and testicular cancer. It can also be used alongside other treatments, such as radiation therapy or surgery, to target cancer cells in different ways and increase the effectiveness of the treatment.

In recent years, there have been significant advancements in chemotherapy, including the development of targeted therapies and immunotherapy. Targeted therapies are drugs that specifically target certain molecules or proteins found in cancer cells, while immunotherapy uses the body's immune system to fight cancer cells.

Overall, chemotherapy is an essential tool in the fight against cancer and has saved countless lives in the healthcare industry.
