The form of treatment in which drugs are used to destroy cancer cells is called chemotherapy. Chemotherapy works by targeting rapidly dividing cells, which include cancer cells. It can be administered orally or intravenously, and it may be used alone or in combination with other cancer treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy, depending on the type and stage of cancer.

The decision to treat a patient with prostate cancer with chemotherapy depends on the stage of the cancer.

As I understand it, chemotherapy is a poison which kills cells which are growing. Established cells are not affected by it (much) and so only growing, or dividing cells which I assume take up more of the poison administered to the body of the chemo patient than other cells-a toxic dose. One hopes. Rebecca.
