Chemotherapy works by stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells, which grow and divide quickly. As such, chemotherapy is used to treat cancer, lessen the chance it will return, or stop/slow its growth, and also to ease cancer symptoms by shrinking tumors that are causing pain and other problems.
For some patients with cancer, chemotherapy may be the only treatment prescribed, whereas others may need chemotherapy in addition to other cancer treatments (e.g radiation or surgery).
