Doxil

Doxil is a cancer treatment that consists of the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin enclosed in tiny, specially designed liposomes (fat-based bubbles). These liposomes help deliver the medication directly to cancer cells while reducing damage to healthy tissue. Because of this targeted approach, Doxil can be effective against certain cancers with fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy. It is used for cancers such as ovarian cancer, multiple myeloma, and AIDS-related Kaposi’s sarcoma. Overall, Doxil offers a more precise way to attack cancer cells, improving treatment outcomes and patient comfort.
