|
|
Cytarabine (also known as ARA-C, and by the brand name Cytosar) is an anticancer agent that kills cancer cells. It is very frequently used with other anticancer drugs in the treatment of acute myelocytic leukemia (AML), lymphomas, and for leukemia and lymphoma affecting the surrounding membranes of the brain and spinal cord (meninges).
|
|
Cyclophosphamide is a cancer (chemotherapeutic) medication. Cyclophosphamide interferes
with the growth of cancer cells and slows their growth and spread in the body.
|
|
Synthetic glucocorticoid; minimal mineralocorticoid activity.
|
|
Dexamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid. Its naturally occuring counterparts are hydrocortisone and cortisone.
|
|
Dexamethasone is in a class of drugs called steroids. Dexamethasone prevents the release
of substances in the body that cause inflammation.

|
|
Methotrexate is a folic acid derivative that interferes with folic acid metabolism (folate antagonist). It is a cytotoxic agent (a chemical that is directly toxic to cells) with multiple characteristics and may be described as an antimetabolite, antineoplastic, and immunosuppressant.
|
|
Methotrexate injection interferes with the growth of certain cells of the body, especially
cells that reproduce quickly, such as cancer cells, bone marrow cells, and skin cells.
|
|
Pentostatin is a cancer (antineoplastic) medication. Pentostatin interferes with the growth of
cancer cells and slows their growth and spread in the body.
|
|
Pentostatin is an anticancer (antineoplastic) agent belonging to the class of drugs called antimetabolites (compounds that prevent the synthesis and utilization of normal cellular metabolite). It is a natural product isolated from Streptomyces antibioticus .

their growth and spread in the body.
|
|
Rituximab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to CD20, a protein found on the surface of normal and malignant B cells and is used to reduce the numbers of circulating B cells in patients who have B-cell non-Hodgkin ' s lymphoma (NHL). Rituximab is sold as Rituxan in the United States.
