Chemotherapy (Asbestos)

Drug treatment to destroy cancer cells.

Chemotherapy (Bladder Cancer)

The treatment of a cancer by chemicals. For bladder cancer these include: cisplatin (Platinol(r)), doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan(r)), methotrexate, vinblastine, gemcitabine and paclitaxel (Taxol(r)), and others.

Chemotherapy (Blood and Marrow Transplant)

Drugs used to treat cancer by destroying abnormal cells or slowing their growth

Chemotherapy (Breast Cancer)

Systemic treatment (cytotoxic or hormonal) with drugs that reach cells throughout the body; used to kill or slow down the growth of cancer cells.

Chemotherapy (Cancer)

Treatment with anticancer drugs.

Chemotherapy (Ear Surgery)

The use of chemical agents to treat brain tumors.

Chemotherapy (Erectile Dysfunction)

Chemotherapy (Gynecology)

Treatment to destroy cancer cells with drugs.

Chemotherapy (HIV and AIDs)

Use of chemicals to treat a disease; commonly used to refer to cancer treatments.

Chemotherapy (Health)

A chemical treatment for disease, which has specific toxic effect on disease-producing microorganisms or that selectively destroys cancerous tissue.

Chemotherapy (Hormone Replacement Therapy)

Chemotherapy (Huntingtons Disease)

The treatment of cancer using specific chemicals or drugs that are selectively destructive to malignant (cancerous) cells and tissues.

Chemotherapy (Invitro Fertilization)

The use of anticancer drugs to treat or control cancer.

Chemotherapy (Lymphoma)

Chemotherapy (Oncology)

Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to try to stop or slow the growth of cancer cells. It often is used in combination with other treatments (radiation therapy or surgery). Chemotherapy can be administered orally (capsule, pill, or liquid), by injection into a vein, artery, or muscle, or by intravenous (IV) drip. Chemotherapy affects rapidly growing cells, which may be cancerous or normal (such as hair cells, bone marrow). Some side effects of chemotherapy include hair loss, mouth sores, nausea, and vomiting.

Chemotherapy (Pituitary)

The use of chemical agents to treat brain tumors.

Chemotherapy (Prostate Cancer)

The use of pharmaceuticals or other chemicals to kill cancer cells; in many cases chemotherapeutic agents kill not only cancer cells but also other cells in the body, which makes such agents potentially very dangerous

Chemotherapy (Science)

Type of cancer treatment that uses over 50 different drugs or chemicals to kill cancer cells

Chemotherapy (Skin Cancer)

Treatment with drugs to destroy cancer cells.

Chemotherapy (Vitamins)
