Often cytotoxic chemotherapy targets DNA and proteins expression in both cancer cells and normal host cells. Hence, the therapeutic index leading to toxicity is very narrow. In addition, most chemotherapy drugs show activity in rapidly multiplying cells, so they quickly affect multiplying cells, e.g., bone marrow, GI tract, hair follicles.

How chemotherapy works
Chemotherapy kills cells that are in the process of dividing into 2 new cells. It damages the genes inside the nucleus. Different chemotherapy drugs will do this in different ways. They might: damage the part of the cell's control centre that make it divide. interrupt the chemical processes involved in cell division.

Why the Most Prescribed Chemotherapy Drug Can Cause Serious Heart
The reason the chemotherapy drug draws the T-cells from the blood to attack cardiac tissue has yet to be defined, but that will be the focus of future work. The research team found that, once in the heart, the CD8+ T-cells can cause changes to the organ, leaving the cardiac tissue scarred, highly fibrotic, and less able to perform.
Immunotherapy Before Chemoradiotherapy—More Is Better?
In early 2018, the PACIFIC trial regimen was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration before many immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) were approved for first-line treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). 1 In this trial, patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC received durvalumab for 1 year after chemoradiation therapy (CRT).
