Remember what "works" means in this case. Chemotherapy, or for other cancers, radiation, surgery that removes large, healthy parts of organs that might have a tumor. Chemotherapy has hosts of side effects, of course (hair loss, nausea, ruined immunity, CIPN, etc) some permanent for some people. It "works" when you look at what KPIs oncologists like, very reductionist things like "5-year overall survival" whilst you ignore things like quality of life both in the short term and long term. We should be moving away from chemotherapy. It really is poison (cytotoxin) that has "treatment" of cancer as a side effect, just because it will readily kill cancer cells more than healthy cells whilst also taking a lot of the healthy cells with it. But, it's the "established" standard of care, which many doctors built their careers on, so I suppose it won't go away soon.
