AB In  principle,  chemotherapeutic  drugs  are  able  to  treat  cancer  and  spare  normal  cells  by  exploiting  inherent  differences  in  their  individual  growth  patterns.  Each  tumor  type  has  its  own  characteristics,  which  explains  why  the  same  chemotherapy  regimen  is  not  equally  effective  for  the  whole  spectrum  of  gynecologic  cancers.  Selecting  appropriate  drugs  and  limiting  toxicity  demands  an  understanding  of  cellular  kinetics  and  biochemistry.
