The use of cytotoxic drugs and chemicals to achieve a cure, decrease tumor size, provide relief of pain, or slow metastasis is known as <u>Chemotherapy</u>.

<h3>the effects of chemotherapy on the body?</h3>

Chemotherapy destroys cells that are dividing to become two new cells.
The bodily tissues are composed of countless billions of cells.
Once we reach adulthood, the majority of the body's cells rarely reproduce and proliferate.
They only split apart to heal damage.

<h3>Chemotherapy may result in adverse reactions.</h3>

In addition to killing rapidly dividing healthy cells, chemotherapy also kills rapidly dividing malignant cells.
Examples include the cells that line your lips, intestines, and those that stimulate the growth of your hair.
It's possible for adverse symptoms including mouth sores, nausea, and hair loss to result from harm to healthy cells.
After chemotherapy is over, side symptoms frequently improve or disappear.
