Question 1 / 16 · Easy · Principles of Chemotherapy & Safe Handling

Why can cytotoxic chemotherapy produce both anticancer benefit and effects such as low blood-cell counts or mouth problems?It lowers blood-cell counts and irritates the mouth because it acts only in bone marrow and oral tissue, not in cancer cells.It can affect cancer cells and healthy tissues whose cells renew quickly, such as bone marrow and digestive lining.Low blood-cell counts and mouth problems occur because every chemotherapy permanently stops all cell division after the first cycle.These effects occur only when chemotherapy causes an infusion infection, rather than from effects on rapidly renewing healthy tissue.
