Antitumor
Antitumor agents, also known as antineoplastic or anticancer drugs, are a diverse class of pharmacological substances used in the treatment of cancer. These agents work through various mechanisms, including inhibiting cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, targeting specific molecular pathways, or disrupting tumor angiogenesis. They are critical components of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy regimens, aiming to reduce tumor burden, prevent metastasis, and improve patient outcomes.
