Chemotherapy is the use of anticancer drugs to fight the disease.

Chemotherapy is a systemic therapy, which means the anticancer drugs travel through the bloodstream, reaching all parts of the body.

In general, chemotherapy drugs affect rapidly dividing cells.

The drugs kill cancer cells, but also affect other cells in the body, like cells in hair roots and cells that line the digestive tract.

As a result, chemotherapy can cause hair loss, nausea, vomiting or mouth sores.

Doctors can suggest diet changes or medication to ease these problems, and most side effects of chemotherapy gradually disappear during the recovery period or after treatment stops.
