docetaxel

Docetaxel is a chemotherapy medication used to treat certain types of cancer, such as breast, lung, prostate, and stomach cancers. It works by interfering with the growth and division of cancer cells, preventing them from multiplying. By targeting rapidly dividing cells, docetaxel helps to shrink tumors and slow cancer progression. It is typically administered through an intravenous infusion in a healthcare setting and may cause side effects like fatigue, hair loss, or low blood cell counts. Overall, it is an important part of cancer treatment aimed at controlling and reducing the disease.
