  definition

  Chemotherapy is…

  Form of therapy used in the treatment of cancer. Cytotoxic drugs that damage cells attack all those cells that divide rapidly, a property of cancer cells and certain normal cells like bone marrow cells and hair follicles. Since chemotherapeutic drugs are unable to distinguish between healthy and cancer cells, immunosuppression and hair loss are common side effects of chemotherapy.
