Anticancer drugs are medications used to treat cancer by targeting and killing cancer cells or inhibiting their growth. Anticancer drugs are medications specifically designed to combat cancer by either inhibiting the growth of cancer cells or inducing their death. These drugs operate through various mechanisms, such as disrupting the cell cycle, interfering with specific signaling pathways crucial for cancer cell survival, or targeting the blood vessels that support tumor growth. Anticancer drugs encompass a diverse range of classes, including cytotoxic drugs, targeted therapies, hormone therapies, immunotherapies, and angiogenesis inhibitors. The selection of these drugs depends on the type of cancer, its stage, and individual patient characteristics. While these medications play a crucial role in cancer treatment, they may also have side effects due to their impact on rapidly dividing normal cells.
