Chemotherapy drugs are used to kill cells. In cancer, the therapy is targeted towards tumor cells, but for patients with MS, chemotherapy focuses on reducing the number of white blood cells. Because MS is an autoimmune disease, it causes the body’s own immune system to go into overdrive. The white blood cells begin to attack the brain in order to combat the disease, but this directly causes the inflammation that leads to the lesions and the symptoms. By taking chemotherapy drugs like mitoxantrone and alemtuzumab, the white blood cells are greatly reduced in an attempt to stop the attack on the brain and reduce symptoms. Using chemotherapy to treat MS is still a new process. Clinical trials have proven successful, although chemotherapy drugs often have high-risk side effects, including cardiovascular failure and leukemia. Because of this, many doctors will not consider chemotherapy as a treatment unless other treatments methods have failed.
