    chemotherapy drug that inhibits cancer cell division

    Paclitaxel, also known by the brand name Taxol, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat various types of cancer, including breast, ovarian, and lung cancer. It works by inhibiting cell division, which prevents cancer cells from growing and spreading. This drug can cause side effects such as hair loss (alopecia), as it affects rapidly dividing cells, including those in hair follicles.
