Types of Cancer Medicines

Cancer treatment has evolved significantly, with a wide range of medicines designed to target cancer cells effectively while minimizing harm to healthy tissues.

Chemotherapy

Uses powerful drugs to kill fast-growing cancer cells. Often used to shrink tumors before surgery, destroy remaining cells after treatment, or manage advanced cancers.

First-line · Adjuvant · Palliative

Targeted Therapy

Focuses on specific molecules and pathways cancer cells use to grow and spread. More precise than chemotherapy, reducing damage to healthy cells.

Precision · Molecular · Biomarker-driven

Immunotherapy

Boosts the body's immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Includes checkpoint inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and cancer vaccines.

Checkpoint Inhibitors · mAbs · Vaccines

Hormone Therapy

Blocks or lowers hormones that fuel certain cancers, such as breast and prostate cancer. Helps slow or stop cancer growth by depriving tumors of hormonal signals.

Breast Cancer · Prostate Cancer

Bone Marrow & Stem Cell Transplant

Replaces damaged bone marrow with healthy stem cells. Often used for blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma where intensive therapy is required.

Leukemia · Lymphoma · Myeloma

Supportive Medications

Include pain relievers, anti-nausea drugs, and medications to boost immunity or manage the side effects of cancer treatments for better quality of life.

Palliative · Symptom Management
