THE ROLE OF CHEMISTRY IN CANCER TREATMENT AND CHEMOTHERAPY DEVELOPMENT
Keywords:
Chemistry, Cancer Treatment, Chemotherapy, Anticancer Drugs, Drug Resistance, OncologyAbstract
Chemistry plays a fundamental role in the understanding, treatment, and management of cancer. At the molecular level, cancer is a disease caused by chemical and biochemical alterations in DNA, proteins, and cellular signaling pathways. The development of chemotherapy and other anticancer treatments relies heavily on chemical principles, including drug synthesis, molecular targeting, and structure–activity relationships. This article examines the role of chemistry in cancer treatment, with particular emphasis on chemotherapy development, mechanisms of action of anticancer drugs, and current challenges such as toxicity and drug resistance. The study highlights how chemical research continues to improve cancer therapy and patient outcomes.
