The chemotherapy interacts with the cell division process of the cell directly or indirectly. In the direct process the cell division process either mitosis or meiosis is impaired or the essential hormones or enzymes required for cell divisions are attacked through cytotoxic drug. It also inhibits cell division through apoptosis strategy where the cancerous cell starts dividing themselves. The chemotherapy process is to be done regularly over a certain period of time. Usually the treatment course occurs from a day to few weeks’ time. The dosage of chemical is given either orally or injected into the body fluid or either through intravenously.
