Chemotherapy drugs, often referred to as cytotoxic agents, can include a variety of medications such as alkylating agents (e.g., cyclophosphamide), antimetabolites (e.g., methotrexate), plant alkaloids (e.g., paclitaxel), and anthracyclines (e.g., doxorubicin). The specific drugs used depend on the type of cancer being treated and the patient's individual treatment plan. These drugs work by targeting rapidly dividing cancer cells, but they can also affect normal cells, leading to side effects. Combination therapies are common to enhance effectiveness and reduce the risk of resistance.
