Lenalidomide is a medication primarily used to treat certain types of blood cancers, such as multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndromes. It works by modulating the immune system and inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. While it can be highly effective, it also has potential side effects, including an increased risk of blood clots and low blood cell counts.
