Overview

Chemotherapy for cancer treatment is a type of systemic therapy, which uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It is one of the most commonly used treatments for cancer, as it can target cancer cells that may have spread to other parts of the body. It works by damaging the DNA or dividing cells of the cancerous cells, stopping them from growing and dividing. Chemotherapy has been shown to be effective in treating various types of cancer, such as breast, brain, lung, lymphoma and leukemia. It is often used with other treatments such as radiation or surgery, depending on the type and stage of the cancer.
