Chemotherapy works by stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells, which can spread and divide quickly. Another way to explain this is to say chemotherapy typically refers to the destruction of cancer cells. However, chemotherapy may also include the use of antibiotics or other medications to treat any illness or infection. Chemotherapy acts by killing cells that divide rapidly, one of the main properties of cancer cells. This means that it also harms cells that divide rapidly under normal circumstances such as hair follicles, thereby resulting in hair loss of some patients.
