    uses drugs to destroy rapidly dividing cancer cells

    Chemotherapy, often referred to as "chemo," is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to destroy cancer cells. These cytotoxic drugs work by targeting and killing rapidly dividing cells, which include not only cancer cells but also some healthy cells, leading to side effects such as hair loss (alopecia), nausea, and fatigue.
