What are the general side effects of Chemotherapy? Chemotherapy is a drug that is administered to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy inhibits the multiplication of the cells that rapidly divide to create new cells. Thus chemotherapy can affect specific cells in our body that rapidly increase to create new cells, including the hair cells, bone marrow cells, and more. This creates side effects like fatigue, weakness, frequent infections, hair loss, appetite loss, and weight loss. Watch Dr. Suresh Kumar, Medical Oncology, Kauvery Hospital talk in detail about the side effects of chemotherapy and why they occur.
