GlossaryCyclophosphamide

chemotherapy drug that interferes with DNA replication in cells

Cyclophosphamide, also known as Cytoxan, is a chemotherapy drug used to treat various types of cancer and certain autoimmune diseases. It works by interfering with the DNA replication process in rapidly dividing cells, which helps to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. However, it can also affect healthy cells, leading to side effects such as hair loss (alopecia) and increased risk of infections.
