Cytotoxic Chemotherapy

Cytotoxic chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment in which drugs are used to destroy cancer cells. It works by stopping or slowing the growth of rapidly dividing cancer cells, which can interfere with their ability to survive. Cytotoxic chemotherapy can be used to shrink a tumor or to reduce the risk of cancer recurring. It can also be used in combination with other treatments, such as radiation therapy, to improve the effectiveness of the overall treatment. It is an important tool in the fight against cancer, and can be used to help increase chances of survival for people with certain types of cancer.
