Vincristine

Vincristine is a chemotherapy medication used primarily to treat certain types of cancer, such as leukemia and lymphoma. It works by interfering with the cancer cells' ability to divide and grow, which helps to slow down or stop the progression of the disease. Vincristine is often administered intravenously and is part of combination therapy, meaning it may be used alongside other cancer treatments. While it can be effective, it may also cause side effects, including hair loss, nausea, and neurological symptoms, as it can affect healthy cells as well. Regular monitoring is important during treatment.
