Health EducationDocetaxel 認識化療藥品Docetaxel
2023/2/21Docetaxel is a plant alkaloids derived from the needles of the European yew tree. This drug inhibits the action of proteins called microtubules for cell division, thus stopping cancer cells from separating into two new cells, eventually causing cell death.
Doxorubicin 認識化療藥品Doxorubicin
2023/2/21Doxorubicin is classified as an anthracyline anticancer antibiotic. This drug inhibits DNA synthesis by producing DNA cross-links which halt cell replication and eventually causing cell death. This cell damage slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in the body.
Etoposide 認識化療藥品Etoposide
2023/2/21Etoposide is a plant alkaloid derived from the May apple plant. 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.
Fluorouracil 認識化療藥品Fluorouracil
2023/2/21Fluorouracil 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
2023/2/21Gemcitabine 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
2023/2/21Ifosfamide 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
2023/2/21Irinotecan 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
2023/2/21Methotrexate 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
2023/2/21Mitomycin-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
2023/2/21Mitoxantrone 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.
