Question

which type of medicine kills cancer cells in the body, but also kills healthy cells? a. analgesics b. antibiotics c. chemotherapy drugs d. steroids

Explanation:

Chemotherapy drugs are designed to kill cancer cells. However, due to their mechanism of action (targeting rapidly - dividing cells), they can also affect healthy cells that divide quickly (such as cells in the bone marrow, digestive tract lining). Analgesics are for pain relief, antibiotics for bacterial infections, and steroids have various functions like anti - inflammatory but not primarily cancer - cell killing.

C. Chemotherapy drugs
