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.
