Mechanisms of Cytotoxic Action and Cell Cycle Specificity
Chemotherapy refers to the use of chemical agents to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Most chemotherapeutic agents are "cytotoxic," meaning they are toxic to cells. Their primary mechanism of action involves interfering with the cell cycle, specifically targeting rapidly dividing cells. Because cancer cells typically divide more...
