It 's more effective when used in the state of metastasis. In this state, the cancer is spreading to all parts from which it arose.
Each chemotherapy agent has a special roletreatment and the characteristics of the drug used dependent. Most of them interfere with DNA synthesis. Based on their characteristics and treatment are classified as alkylating agents, antimetabolites, anthracyclines, antibiotics, anticancer drugs, monoclonal antibodies, and plant alkaloids board.
Alkylating agents are widely used chemotherapy drugs. These drugs are effective in all phases of the cell cycle. The drug works alkylateDNA strand breaks directly to the wires and forms of abnormal mating takes place, thus preventing cell division, and cells die as a result.
are anti-metabolites, may be useful in the treatment of chronic problems and some cases of leukemia and various cancers.
Anthracycline drugs from natural resources. You work through the production of oxygen free radicals, acting with the DNA strands and prevents cell division.
Antitumor antibioticsobtained from the soil fungus Streptomyces. It uses oxygen free radicals to break the DNA strands, preventing cell division. Bleomycin is an antitumor antibiotic used
Monoclonal antibodies, which are in turn associated with tumor-specific antigens and therefore block the growth of the cell.
Platini also used to give to affect the DNA and stop cell growth. But the setback, she is damaging the kidneys, because they are toxic.
Plant alkaloidsafter the name are derived from plants. And they are used in the specific cell cycle.
