Bleomycin

Bleomycin is a chemotherapy drug used to treat certain types of cancer, such as Hodgkin's lymphoma, testicular cancer, and some skin cancers. It works by damaging the DNA inside cancer cells, which prevents them from dividing and growing. This helps slow or stop the spread of the disease. Because it affects DNA, Bleomycin can also cause side effects, particularly in the lungs, so doctors monitor patients closely during treatment. It is typically given through an injection or infusion in a hospital setting.
