Description:
Chemotherapy is the treatment of cancer using drugs. It was discovered in the Second World War when doctors found that nitrogen mustard could be used to reduce cancer tumours. Other drugs were later discovered, including a compound in folic acid that blocks the growth of cancer cells. Since the late 1990s, targeted therapy has been used to fight cancer, which uses drugs to prevent cancer from spreading.Ajouté au bande de temps:
