chemotherapy

chemotherapy /
Chemotherapy is best known as a treatment for cancer. In this, the so-called cytostatics fight the cancer cells. Although the cytostatic drugs used should target the tumors as specifically as possible, the entire organism is usually affected and there are severe unwanted side effects, which are, however, accepted in view of the lack of treatment alternatives to cancer. In most cases, chemotherapy is only after surgery or irradiation of the tumors. Both the chances of recovery and the occurrence of side effects are highly dependent on the choice of active ingredients. In addition to the use in cancer chemotherapy with special drugs (such as antivirals, antibiotics, anthelminthics) are also used against various infectious diseases. (Fp)
