Ovarian Cancer |
Chemotherapy stops the dividing of healthy cells and cancer cells. It does this by using mitotic inhibitors to damage the cell during the growth stage to stop the cell from developing the spindle. Once the cell goes into the DNA replication cycle antimetabolites substitute for DNA and RNA this takes the rapidly dividing cell and causes it to die. Last of all we have the alkylating agents damaging the dna which causes the cell to go to apoptosis.
