About Chemotherapy

Under normal condition your body replaces millions of dead cells every day and this is a delicate mechanism. Under certain conditions the process of cell division becomes unregulated and there is uncontrolled growth of cells. The condition of unregulated cell devision is called cancer. chemotherapy is a combination of various drugs along with other supportive methods to eliminate the abnormal cells from your body. The drugs are divided into various categories depending upon their chemical structure and soure of origin. Your oncologist will decide upon the best treatment for you after assessing the type of cancer the body has developed.
