Chemotherapy Often Produces Hair Loss and Nausea

Chemotherapy often produces hair loss and nausea. What aspect of the treatment impacts these normal nontarget tissues?

A) The cells that form the hair follicle and line the digestive system have receptors similar to those found on tumor cells and bind the chemotheraputic agents just as the tumor cells do.
B) All cells acquire the cytotoxic drugs but the cells that grow most rapidly, like hair cells and tumor cells, accumulate a lethal dose more quickly.
C) Cells that are damaged by chemotherapy are nonmutated versions of the tumor cells; both the normal and tumor cells retain their sensitivities to the chemotherapy and are equally affected.
D) Oncologists have no satisfactory explanation for the observation, but are working aggressively to minimize these and other unintended effects.
