chemotherapy

n. 1. (medicine) a brutal assault on the already-weakened body of a cancer victim that kills cancerous cells by killing living cells as well. In the more extreme treatments, such as for leukemia, it only works because of the phenomenal ability of modern hospitalization techniques to keep a patient alive even when the treatment is killing him.
