Definition
Describing a substance or agent that inhibits the growth or division of cells without necessarily killing them.
Etymology
From cyto- (Greek kytos, 'cell') + -static (Greek statikos, 'causing to stand' or 'stopping'). This medical term was developed in the 20th century as chemotherapy emerged as a cancer treatment.
Kelly Says
Cytostatic drugs are brilliant weapons against cancer because they freeze tumors in place instead of killing them—your immune system can then clean them up without the damage caused by toxic poisons!
