Chemotherapy can be used to cure cancer, keep the cancer from spreading, and to slow the cancer's growth.
Normal cells grow and die in a controlled way.
But cancer occurs when cells become abnormal and keep dividing and forming more cells without control or order. Anticancer drugs destroy cancer cells by stopping them from growing or multiplying at one or more points in their life cycle. Sometimes chemotherapy is the only therapy a patient receives. In addition to chemotherapy, other methods sometimes are used to treat cancer. Your doctor decides which drug or drugs will work best for you.
