Anticancer drug

Anticancer drugs are medications designed to target and destroy cancer cells, which divide and grow abnormally. These drugs work by interfering with the cancer cells' ability to multiply, repair themselves, or function properly. Some drugs directly kill cancer cells, while others stop their growth. They may be used alone or combined with other treatments like surgery or radiation. While effective, anticancer drugs can also affect healthy cells, which can cause side effects. Overall, they are a key tool in managing and treating various types of cancer, aiming to reduce tumors and improve patient outcomes.
