Liposomal doxorubicin

Liposomal doxorubicin is a specialized cancer treatment that delivers the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin enclosed within tiny, fat-based particles called liposomes. These liposomes help the drug stay in the bloodstream longer and target cancer cells more effectively, while reducing damage to healthy tissues. This method can enhance the drug’s effectiveness and lower some side effects compared to traditional doxorubicin. It is primarily used to treat various cancers, such as ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and certain soft tissue sarcomas, offering a more precise and potentially better-tolerated chemotherapy option.
