G

H

Explanation

Chemotherapy uses medicines that travel through the body, so it can treat cancer cells in multiple places. It can kill cancer cells, shrink tumors, and slow or stop cancer from spreading; shrinking tumors may also reduce pressure and ease pain. It does not provide a drug-free treatment, and removing a tumor is generally done with surgery rather than chemotherapy.
