Dacarbazine

Dacarbazine is a chemotherapy medication primarily used to treat certain types of cancer, including melanoma and Hodgkin lymphoma. It works by interfering with the growth of cancer cells, slowing their spread in the body. Administered through injection, it is often part of a broader treatment plan that may include other drugs and therapies. While effective, dacarbazine can have side effects, such as nausea, fatigue, and changes in blood cell counts. Oncologists closely monitor patients receiving this treatment to manage side effects and assess the drug's effectiveness.
