    chemotherapy drug that interferes with cancer cell DNA

    Doxorubicin, also known as Adriamycin, is a chemotherapy drug used to treat various types of cancer, including breast cancer, bladder cancer, and lymphoma. It works by interfering with the DNA inside cancer cells, preventing them from growing and dividing. However, it can also cause side effects such as hair loss (alopecia) and damage to the heart, so its use is carefully monitored by healthcare professionals.
