Cancer is a cellular tumor the natural course of which is fatal. Cancer cells, unlike benign tumor cells, exhibit the properties of invasion and metastasis and are highly anaplastic. It arises from the uncontrolled and abnormal division of cells that invade and destroy the surrounding tissues. Spreading of cancer cells, or metastasis, occurs via the blood stream or the lymphatic channels. There are many causative factors, including genetic predisposal. Treatment of cancer depends on the type of the tumor, its size and the extent of the spread. Cancers are divided into two broad categories of carcinoma and sarcoma. Carcinoma is a cancer that arises in epithelium, the tissue that lines the skin and internal organs of the body. Sarcoma is any cancer of the connective tissue. Products: Anti-cancer drugs
Aredia
This medicine is a bone loss inhibitor used to treat high calcium levels or softening of the bone caused by certain cancers. It may also be used to treat Paget's disease and other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Arimidex
Arimidex
Arimidex is a type of hormonal therapy used in the treatment of breast cancer in women who have had their menopause (change of life).
Avemar
AVEMAR (known in USA under the brand name AVE) is recommended for patients suffering from malignant tumors as a supplement to clinical oncology treatment (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy etc.). Avemar, the product of industrial fermentation of wheat germ, possesses unique cancer-fighting characteristics. Taken orally, Avemar can inhibit metastatic tumor dissemination and proliferation during and after chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. Benefits of Avemar treatment have been shown in various human cancers, in cultures of in vitro grown cancer cells, in the prevention of chemical carcinogenesis, and also in some autoimmune conditions.
Campto
Campto, known also as Camptosar is used to treat bowel cancer which has spread to other parts of the body. Cancer which has spread cannot be treated by surgery alone and one of the options in this situation is treatment with an anticancer medicine (known as chemotherapy). CAMPTOSAR contains the active ingredient, irinotecan hydrochloride.
Casodex
Casodex (Bicalutamide) - nonsteroidal antiandrogen. Such tipe of drugs block the effect of the male hormone testosterone in the body. Giving a nonsteroidal antiandrogen together with another treatment that decreases the amount of testosterone produced in the body is one way of treating this type of cancer.
Fareston
Fareston is indicated for treatment of metastatic breast cancer in postmenopausal women with estrogen-receptor–positive or unknown tumors. Fareston was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in October 1995.
Fareston is a medicine that blocks the receptors for the female hormone oestrogen in the body. This prevents oestrogen-induced stimulation of DNA production and hence cell growth in breast cancer.
Femara
Femara is an oral, anti-estrogen drug that is used for treating postmenopausal women with breast cancer.
Megace
Megace is indicated to treat loss of appetite and weight loss that is a result from Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Megace is also indicated to treat advanced breast cancer and endometrial cancer. Megace may also be used for other purposes not mentioned here.
Tamoxifen
Tamoxifen is a medicine that blocks the effects of the estrogen hormone in the body. It is used to treat breast cancer in women or men. It may also be used to treat other kinds of cancer, as determined by your doctor. Tamoxifen also may be used to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer in women who have a high risk of developing breast cancer.
Taxol
Xeloda
Xeloda (Capecitabine) is in a class of drugs known as antimetabolites. Capecitabine resembles a normal cell nutrient needed by cancer cells to grow. The cancer cells take up the capecitabine, which then interferes with their growth.
Zofran
Zofran (Ondansetron) is used for the prevention of nausea and vomiting caused by radiation therapy and chemotherapy for cancer, and, in some cases, to prevent these problems following surgery.
