Chemotherapy is a widely used treatment for cancer. The term ‘chemotherapy’ refers to the drugs that prevent cancer cells from dividing and growing. It works by killing the cells that divide in an uncontrolled way.
A gallbladder polyp is a small, abnormal growth of tissue which emerges from the lining of the inside of the gallbladder (a small organ that stores bile and passes it from the liver to the small intestine). They are often made up of cholesterol and are relatively common.
