Cancer medicines

Cancer medicines are drugs designed to target and destroy cancer cells, which grow abnormally and invade healthy tissue. There are various types, including chemotherapy (which kills rapidly dividing cells), targeted therapy (which focuses on specific molecules involved in cancer growth), and immunotherapy (which boosts the body's immune system to fight cancer). These treatments can be used alone or together, depending on the cancer type and stage. While effective, they may also affect healthy cells, leading to side effects. The goal of cancer medicines is to control or eliminate cancer, improve quality of life, and increase survival chances.
