    Glossary Taxane-based chemotherapy

    involves drugs that prevent cancer cell division

    Taxane-based chemotherapy, also known as Taxane treatment, involves the use of drugs derived from the yew tree, such as paclitaxel and docetaxel, to treat various cancers. These drugs work by stabilizing microtubules in cancer cells, preventing them from dividing and leading to cell death. This type of chemotherapy is commonly used for breast, ovarian, and lung cancers, but it can also cause side effects like hair loss (alopecia) and neuropathy.
