Health EducationFluorouracil 認識化療藥品Fluorouracil
2024/1/22Fluorouracil belongs to a group of drugs called antimetabolites. This medicine inhibits thymidylate synthase that is essential for the formation of DNA and RNA. This stops the growth of cancer cells, causing the cells to die.
Gemcitabine 認識化療藥品Gemcitabine
2024/1/22Gemcitabine is classified as an antimetabolites. This medicine inhibits ribonucleotide reductase that is essential for the formation of DNA and RNA. This stops the growth of cancer cells, causing the cells to die.
Ifosfamide 認識化療藥品Ifosfamide
2024/1/22Ifosfamide is an alkylating agent. This medicine induces cross linking on the same strand of DNA and interferes with DNA replication and cell division. This stops the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body.
Irinotecan 認識化療藥品Irinotecan
2024/1/22Irinotecan is a plant alkaloid derived from the Camptotheca acuminata, also called the happy tree. This medicine blocks the action of an enzyme in cells called topoisomerase I, which is necessary for cell replication and tumor growth. Blocking this enzyme leads to breaks in the DNA, which leads to cancer cell death.
Methotrexate 認識化療藥品Methotrexate
2024/1/22Methotrexate is classified as anticancer antimetabolites. This medicine inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis, thereby stopping cell replication and eventually causing cell death. This cell damage slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in the body.
Mitomycin-C 認識化療藥品Mitomycin-c
2024/1/22Mitomycin-C is classified as an anticancer antibiotic. This medicine inhibits DNA and RNA synthesis, thereby stopping cell replication and eventually causing cell death. This cell damage slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in the body.
Mitoxantrone 認識化療藥品Mitoxantrone
2024/1/22Mitoxantrone is classified as an anticancer antibiotic. This medicine blocks the action of an enzyme in cells called topoisomerase II, which is necessary for cell replication and tumor growth. Blocking this enzyme leads to breaks in the DNA, which leads to cancer cell death.
Vinblastine 認識化療藥品Vinblastine
2024/1/22Vinblastine is a member of the vinca alkaloids derived from the periwinkle plant. This medicine binds to the tubulin and inhibits microtubule assembly, thus stopping a cell from separating into two new cells, eventually causing cell death.
Vincristine 認識化療藥品Vincristine
2024/1/22Vincristine is a member of the vinca alkaloids derived from the periwinkle plant. This medicine binds to the tubulin and inhibits microtubule assembly, thus stopping a cell from separating into two new cells, eventually causing cell death. This cell damage slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in the body.
Vinorelbine 認識化療藥品Vinorelbine
2024/1/22Vinorelbine is a member of the vinca alkaloids derived from the periwinkle plant. This medicine binds to the tubulin and inhibits microtubule assembly, thus stopping a cell from separating into two new cells, eventually causing cell death. This cell damage slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in the body.
