  3. What is Chemotherapy? Chemotherapy, often referred to simply as "chemo," is a treatment that uses cytotoxic drugs to target and kill rapidly dividing cells. While cancer cells divide uncontrollably, normal cells, such as those in the hair follicles, bone marrow, and gastrointestinal lining, also divide rapidly and can be affected by chemotherapy. https://urooncologistdramitabh.com/

  4. How Does Chemotherapy Work? Chemotherapy drugs work by interfering with the cell cycle of cancer cells. Depending on the type of drug, they may damage DNA, inhibit cell division, or target specific phases of the cell cycle. Drugs like alkylating agents alter the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from multiplying. Others, such as antimetabolites, mimic natural substances needed for DNA synthesis, thereby blocking cell division. Some drugs, like taxanes and vinca alkaloids, interfere with the mitotic spindle, which is essential for cell division. https://urooncologistdramitabh.com/

  5. Living with Chemotherapy Patients undergoing chemotherapy may face emotional and physical challenges. Support groups, counseling, and open communication with healthcare providers can help address these challenges. Advances in supportive care have also improved the overall experience of chemotherapy. https://urooncologistdramitabh.com/
