Chemotherapy is generally defined as a treatment for cancer. There are many different types of cancer and so many different therapies are used. Most chemotherapies are based upon poisons that work more effectively on the cancer cells than on other body cells. Work continues to find substances that are more specific in attacking the cancer and in delivery methods that minimize what is delivered to other body cells in comparison to what reaches the cancer.
