Dasatinib
Dasatinib is a medication used to treat certain types of blood cancer, mainly chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and some cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It works by blocking specific proteins (enzymes) that promote cancer cell growth and division. By inhibiting these enzymes, dasatinib helps stop or slow down the progression of the disease. It is typically taken as a pill, often once daily, under medical supervision. Like all medications, dasatinib can have side effects, so it requires careful monitoring by healthcare providers.
