A chemotherapeutic agent, which is approved for treatment of some cancers and currently under investigation for treatment of metastatic melanoma. It belongs to a class of drugs called taxanes. Also known as Taxol.
A chemical (brand name Taxol) extracted from the Pacific yew tree that helps fight cancer. The yew tree, which produces paclitaxel to defend itself, is part of a family of trees that has survived at least 200 million years.
one of the chemotherapy agents called taxanes that block cell division
A chemotherapy agent, used in many malignacies. A member of the taxane family that inhibits microtubules from forming in the cell cycle therefore cells cannot continue to divide.
Generic name for chemotherapy drug Taxol
A chemotherapy agent that prevents cancer cell division and growth and promotes cancer cell death
One of the most effective and widely used drugs for controlling the growth of cancerous cells. For the treatment of restenosis, paclitaxel doses that are approximately 3,000 times less than those used in cancer treatment are sufficient to limit smooth muscle cell growth while not inhibiting the body's natural ability to heal itself at the site.
An agent used in cancer chemotherapy that binds to microtubules promoting the assembly of tubulin sub-units to inappropriate structures which ultimately leads to cell death.
A chemotherapy agent that slows or stops the growth of cancer cells and is used to treat breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
Generic equivalent of taxol.
a drug derived from the yew tree that is used to treat certain types of cancer (e.g., ovarian cancer). Paclitaxel works by inhibiting cell division, and is under study for the treatment of Kaposi's sarcoma.
Paclitaxel is the generic name for a drug called Taxol® This drug interferes with the growth of cancer cells to slow their growth and how quickly they spread in the body. Paclitaxel is used in the treatment breast cancer and other cancers.
An anticancer drug that belongs to the family of drugs called mitotic inhibitors.
A drug used to treat breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma. It is also used together with another drug to treat non-small cell lung cancer. Paclitaxel is also being studied in the treatment of other types of cancer. It belongs to the family of drugs called mitotic inhibitors. Also called Taxol.
A drug used to treat breast cancer that has spread or that has come back within 6 months after chemotherapy. It is also being studied in the treatment of newly diagnosed breast cancer and other types of cancer. Paclitaxel (albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation) belongs to the family of drugs called mitotic inhibitors. Also called nanoparticle paclitaxel, protein-bound paclitaxel, Abraxane, and ABI-007.
