Understanding Chemotherapy Treatment

What is Chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses special medicines to target and kill cancer cells. These drugs can be administered orally or through injections and are designed to interfere with the cancer cell’s ability to grow and divide. The goal of chemotherapy is to reduce or eliminate the presence of cancer cells in the body, thereby helping to manage or cure the disease.
