September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month. Chemotherapy is the treatment of cancer involving the use of drugs, often called anticancer drugs, to treat cancer. Normal cells grow and die in a controlled manner.
Cancer occurs when cells grow abnormally and keep forming without control or order.
Anticancer drugs work by destroying cancer cells, stopping them from growing or multiplying. To keep cancer from spreading. When chemotherapy is given along with other treatments it is often referred to as adjuvant chemotherapy. The oncologist will, in addition to general recommendations about treatment, evaluate your need for chemotherapy. Cancer cells grow in an uncontrolled manner, and they may break away from their original site and spread to other parts of the body.
