Chemotherapy Fights Cancer Disrupting Mitosis Prevents Dna Replication

Chemotherapy fights cancer by disrupting mitosis, either by preventing DNA replication or inhibiting spindle formation at metaphase.

La chemioterapia combatte il cancro interrompendo la mitosi, prevenendo la replicazione del DNA o interferendo con la formazione del fuso alla metafase.
