I am doing a TAFE course and we were told to “research the most common chemotherapy drug used starting with C”. I did a search for it and found that the chemo drug Cyclophosphamide gets mentioned a lot. I was wondering if anyone might be able to tell me if I might be right if not do you have any idea what it is?


Answer:
Yes. You have the generic name for it - the brand name is Cytoxan.

Answer:
My wife took Cytoxin for breast cancer. Not sure what the one you mentioned is, but you can look it up under medications.

I understand there are a lot of chemotherapy drugs, so I would look for those ones that start with the letter c and then find out about it.


Answer:
Cytoxin. Commonly used to treat breast cancer.
Best of luck with your studies.

Answer:
Look up Cisplatin.

Best wishes and good luck.
