ONCOLOGICAL

The oncological category encompasses a range of medications and treatments specifically designed to combat various types of cancer. These medications are highly specialized and are often tailored to target specific cancer cells, halt their growth, or even eradicate them altogether. Chemotherapy drugs like cyclophosphamide and methotrexate are commonly used to destroy cancer cells by interfering with their ability to multiply, while hydroxyurea can also prevent cell growth. Hormone therapy drugs such as letrozole work by blocking the production or action of certain hormones that can promote the growth of certain cancers, such as breast cancer. These medications are often prescribed as part of a larger treatment plan, which may include surgery, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy, depending on the type and stage of cancer. It is essential for cancer patients to consult with their healthcare providers to develop an individualized treatment approach that best addresses their specific condition.
