Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses powerful chemicals to kill fast growing cells in your body. That's why chemotherapy is used as an treatment for the cancer cells in the patient body, since cancer cell grow and multiply much more quickly than most of cells in our body. It inhibit mitosis (cell division) at specific stages or it induce the DNA damage which will cause the inhibition of DNA repair.
Their are different ways for applying chemotherapy for the patient which can be taken orally by the mouth or injections use of a short needle in the blood vein, injections given through the skin into the muscle layers or can be given directly into the abdominal cavity and also many other ways depends on the place the cancer cells exist.
