Chemotherapy works by injecting medicines directly into the bloodstream, which then travel throughout the body to attack cancer cells wherever they are present; these drugs damage the DNA of rapidly dividing cancer cells, preventing them from dividing and causing them to die, though they also affect healthy cells that grow rapidly, which explains the side effects experienced during treatment.

How Does Chemotherapy Kill Cancer? 🧬#cancerresearch #shortsAdded:
Do you know how chemotherapy kills cancer? Let's understand it through a 3D animation. Cancer cells are different from normal cells, and they divide themselves very rapidly. In chemotherapy, medicines are injected directly into a vein in the form of an injection or an intravenous IV line.
Because of this, these medicines spread throughout the entire body through the bloodstream. Wherever cancer cells are present, the drugs attack them and damage their DNA, preventing the cancer cells from dividing and causing them to gradually die off. However, the problem is that chemotherapy does not just target cancer cells. It also affects certain healthy cells that grow rapidly.
