What is Paclitaxel?
Paclitaxel is a chemotherapeutic agent used primarily in the treatment of various cancers, including ovarian, breast, lung, and pancreatic cancers. It works by inhibiting cell division, effectively blocking the growth of cancer cells by stabilizing microtubule polymer formation, which prevents the cells from replicating their DNA and dividing. Paclitaxel is typically administered intravenously and is known for its ability to improve survival rates in cancer patients, although it may cause side effects such as hair loss, neuropathy, and bone marrow suppression.Side Effects
