Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses anti-cancer drugs to target and destroy cancer cells, and may be administered with curative intent, for life prolongation, or symptom reduction; however, it can also affect normal, healthy cells, leading to side effects such as fatigue, hair loss, nausea, and infections. This treatment falls under the medical oncology discipline and can result in both temporary and long-term adverse effects, including issues like anemia, infertility, and memory and concentration problems.
