Chemotherapy is a treatment that targets rapidly dividing cancer cells. However, it can also damage healthy cells in the body that also divide rapidly such as hair follicles, bone marrow, and the lining of the digestive system. This can lead to side effects such as hair loss, anemia, and nausea. Surgery, liquid biopsy, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors are all treatments that primarily target cancer cells and are less likely to damage healthy cells.
