Chemotherapy is the use of drugs. It can be used for several reasons.
-
To kill cancer cells
-
To help keep the cancer from growing or spreading if a cure isn’t possible
-
To help ease symptoms caused by cancer and improve your quality of life if cancer is advanced, meaning it has spread, and can’t be controlled
Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment because the drugs travel all through your body in your bloodstream, killing cancer cells.
