chemotherapy
含义: The treatment of disease, especially cancer, by the use of chemical substances that are toxic to the disease-causing cells or organisms.
Chemotherapy (often shortened to 'chemo' in informal usage) works by targeting rapidly dividing cells, which is why it affects cancer cells but can also cause side effects in healthy tissues such as hair follicles and the digestive tract. Treatment is typically administered in cycles, with rest periods to allow the body to recover. It may be used alone or in combination with surgery and radiotherapy.
