chemotherapy drugs
Tumor-fighting pharmaceuticals
Chemotherapy drugs are medications used to treat cancer by killing or slowing the growth of rapidly dividing cells.
Often shortened to chemo drugs, they work systemically throughout the body rather than targeting a specific location.

Side effects like hair loss and fatigue occur because the drugs affect healthy fast-growing cells too.
