It can be but only if there is cance present as a form of treatment before deciding to remove the organs with the cancerous cells. It is the same reason that chemo/radiation is tried for Breast cancer rather than mastectomy etc.

Wt is chemothearpy?

is whenf nfkv Chemotherapy is one way of treating cancer patients. It is differant for every patient and what the chemicals are and how much of each is determined by a blood test and administered via an I/V patients who have been getting chemo sometimes have a shunt placed in the upper arm through which the medicine can be given, as too many injections weaken the veins and make it harder to find a vein. I have seen patients who have chemo and took my-brother-inlaw to chemo and have yet to see a cure. The only thing chemo does is slow down the process, in hope that a cure can be found before the cancer wins again/
