R-CHOP (Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Prednisone)
R-CHOP is a combination of medicines used to treat certain types of lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. The "R" stands for Rituximab, which targets specific cancer cells, while Cyclophosphamide and Doxorubicin are chemotherapy drugs that kill rapidly dividing cells. Vincristine disrupts cell division, and Prednisone is a steroid that helps reduce inflammation and fight cancer cells. Together, these medications work synergistically to attack cancer more effectively than any single drug alone. R-CHOP is administered in cycles and is a standard, effective treatment for certain lymphomas, helping to improve remission and survival rates.
