Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment which uses drugs to attack cancer cells. It works by damaging the genetic material in the cancer cells, which prevents them from reproducing. Chemotherapy is used to treat many types of cancers, including lung, breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer. Its effectiveness varies depending on the type and stage of cancer being treated. In some cases, chemotherapy can be used to reduce the size of tumors, reduce the chances of metastasis, or to provide symptom relief. By stopping the spread of cancer, chemotherapy can help to improve a patient's quality of life and prolong survival.
