What is chemo therapy treatment?

Chemotherapy (also called chemo) is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It can be used to treat many types of cancer, including:

- Breast cancer

-Lung cancer

-Colorectal cancer

-Ovarian cancer

-Lymphoma

-Leukemia

Chemotherapy drugs work by damaging the DNA in cancer cells, causing them to die. They can also stop cancer cells from dividing and spreading.

Chemotherapy is often given in combination with other cancer treatments, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy. The type of chemotherapy drugs used and the length of treatment will depend on the type of cancer, the stage of the cancer, and the individual's overall health.

Chemotherapy can have side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss, fatigue, and mouth sores. However, these side effects usually go away after treatment is completed.

Chemotherapy can be a very effective cancer treatment. It can help to shrink tumors, relieve symptoms, and improve quality of life. In some cases, chemotherapy can even cure cancer.
