GlossaryIfosfamide

chemotherapy drug that interferes with cancer cell DNA

Ifosfamide is a chemotherapy drug used to treat various types of cancer, including lymphomas and sarcomas. It works by interfering with the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from growing and dividing. However, it can also cause side effects like hair loss (alopecia) and damage to the bladder and kidneys, so it is often administered with protective agents to mitigate these risks.
