    Glossary Alkylating Agents

    chemotherapy drugs that damage DNA to kill cancer cells

    Alkylating agents are a type of chemotherapy drug that work by adding an alkyl group to the DNA of cancer cells, which interferes with their ability to replicate and ultimately leads to cell death. These agents are used to treat various types of cancer, but they can also affect normal cells, leading to side effects such as hair loss (alopecia).
