Chemotherapy is the most commonly used type of gynecological cancer drug. It works by killing fast-growing cancer cells throughout the body. Chemotherapy drugs are usually given intravenously (through a vein) or orally (by mouth). Some common chemotherapy drugs used to treat gynecological cancers include cisplatin, paclitaxel, carboplatin, and doxorubicin.
Targeted therapy is a type of cancer treatment that targets specific molecules or proteins that are involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells. Gynecological Cancer Drugs are designed to target cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy cells. Targeted therapy drugs are often given in combination with chemotherapy. Some targeted therapy drugs used to treat gynecological cancers include bevacizumab, trastuzumab, and olaparib.
