Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses powerful anti-cancer (cytotoxic) drugs to destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing and dividing. Cancer cells grow very fast. Chemotherapy works by targeting fast-growing cells. It damages their DNA or blocks the tools they need to multiply, making it hard for them to keep growing.
