Chemotherapy is the treatment of disease by chemicals that kill cells, both good and bad, but specifically those of microorganisms or cancer that divide rapidly. This means that other fast-dividing cells, such as those responsible for hair growth will be adversely affected by chemotherapy treatment as well.
Chemotherapy is also used for the treatment of diseases such as multiple sclerosis; Hodgkin's disease; rheumatoid arthritis as well as the suppression of transplant rejections.
