Doxorubicin

Doxorubicin is a chemotherapy medication commonly used to treat various cancers, including breast cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma. It works by interfering with the cancer cells' ability to grow and divide, ultimately leading to their destruction. Doxorubicin is usually given through an injection and can be part of a treatment plan that includes other drugs. While it can be effective, it also has potential side effects, such as nausea, hair loss, and heart problems, so patients are closely monitored during treatment. Its use has significantly improved cancer treatment outcomes over the years.
