    pharmaceuticals used to treat cancer by targeting malignant cells

    Oncology drugs, also known as cancer medications or anticancer drugs, are pharmaceutical agents used to treat cancer by inhibiting the growth and spread of malignant cells. These drugs can include chemotherapy agents, targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and hormone therapies, each working through different mechanisms to attack cancer cells while aiming to minimize damage to normal cells.
