The accessible anticancer drugs have discrete mechanisms of action which may vary in their effects on various types of normal and cancer cells. A single "cure" for cancer has proved elusive since there is not a single type of cancer but as many as different types of cancer. In addition, there are some demonstrable biochemical differences between cancerous cells and Normal cells. The reason being the effectiveness of several anticancer drugs is limited by their toxicity to normal rapidly growing cells in the intestinal and bone marrow areas.

 A last problem is that cancerous cells which are initially suppressed by a specific drug may build up a resistance to that medication. This is the reason why cancer chemotherapy may consist of using various types of drugs in combination for varying lengths of time.
Chemotherapy is among the anticancer drugs. These drugs are sometimes feared because of a patient's issue about toxic effects. Their role is to sedate and hopefully cease the growth and lay out of a cancer.

Regrettably, bulks of drugs currently on the market are not specific, which leads to the diverse ordinary side effects associated with cancer chemotherapy. Because the typical approach of all chemotherapy is to lessen the growth rate of the cancer cells, the side effects are seen in physical structures that naturally have a rapid turnover of cells including skin, digestive, hair and bone marrow. These strong, healthy and normal cells also end up damaged by the chemotherapy program.

A capable agent responsible for acting against infection, either by inhibiting the spread of an infectious agent or further by killing the infectious agent straight through.

These agents, which are well-known as anti-infective, these are those specific types of remedies or antidotes that help in the recovery of the infection. Most frequently these disorders are caused by microscopic organisms such as bacteria, parasites, fungi and viruses. The different genres of infections that these pathogens can provoke are extremely diverse. Minor infections, covers the athlete’s foot, warts and cold sores, however more serious infections encompasses  AIDS, gangrene and pneumonia which eventually lead to darken up a life or probable death.

A bacterium majorly leads to the cause of skin and respiratory infections. The International Trachoma Initiative (ITI) was founded in the early 90’s. Trachoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness in many developing countries and various organizations are showing magnanimity in donating anticancer drugs to recover this infection.

Lately, many different organizations has set in motion new anticancer drugs which are being utilized in serious skin infections and pneumonia including those caused by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).These organizations are positively continuing their commitment of developing medicines to punch-up the emerging and existing ailments and in the near future will have much more advanced and effected medicines cum antidotes for both bacterial and fungal diseases and also for the cure of HIV.




Anticancer drugs or chemotherapy drugs are used to treat cancer by attacking the cancerous cells and destroying their ability to reproduce.  Femara is another name for a generic drug called letrozol. 
Femara is used for treating breast cancer in postmenopausal women.

It is an anticancer drugs and a form of hormonal therapy known as an aromatase inhibitor, which works by lowering the estrogen level produced in the body of women after menopause.

This drug treats postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive or obscure propelled breast malignancy that was advancing after anti-estrogen treatment or initial level treatment metastatic breast cancer.


Development in the field on cancer and its drugs has been done with the help of extensive research from time to time. Furthermore, cancer research journals by scientific journals like Bentham Science Publishers and Elsevier, has a pool of research articles on every aspect of cancer and its drugs. These journals benefit not only the common man with an inquisitive mind, or a newly-diagnosed cancer patient,but prove to be beneficial for researchersand scientists as well.
