Anticancer Drugs

Anticancer drugs are medications designed to treat cancer by targeting and destroying cancer cells, which grow and divide abnormally. These drugs may work by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, blocking their ability to multiply, or boosting the immune system to fight the cancer. They can be administered in various ways, such as orally or through injections. While effective in controlling cancer, these drugs can also affect healthy cells, leading to side effects. Researchers continue to develop targeted therapies to increase effectiveness and reduce adverse effects, making cancer treatment more precise and personalized.
