chemotherapy: 화학요법 (feat. 송전선, 송전탑)

• chemotherapy /ˌkiːməʊˈθerəpi/
(also informal chemo)
[uncountable]
-the treatment of disease, especially cancer, with the use of chemical substances

: 화학요법(chemotherapy)은 특정 질환의 치료를 위해 화학물질을 사용하는 행위와 그때 사용되는 약물 전체를 총칭한다. 그러나 현대에서 화학요법이란 단어는 주로 암의 치료를 위한 화학물질과 그 사용 방법을 말한다.
종양학적 용도 외에도 화학요법은 파울 에를리히의 에르페나민과 뒤이어 도마크가 개발한 설폰아미드계 항생물질과 플레밍이 발견한 페니실린 등의 항생물질(항균요법)을 의미하기도 한다. 이러한 종류의 화학요법에 대해서는 관련 항목을 참고하기 바란다.
다발성 경화증이나 류마티즘열같은 자가면역질환, 그리고 장기 이식 거부반응의 억제가 필요한 경우에도 화학요법을 처치한다.
