Explain chemotherapy in terms of specific inhibition
Hello, can you help me by drawing the following chemical structures for cancer therapy; thank you in ADVANCE!
Chemotherapy: Uses a combination of drugs to kill cancer cells. Dacarbazine . Temozolomide . Nab-paclitaxel . Paclitaxel . Cisplatin . Carboplatin . Vinblastine
Immunotherapy: To boost the immune system. Ipilimumab . Nivolumab . Pembrolizumab
Targeted therapy: To treat advanced melanoma. Vemurafenib . Dabrafenib . Trametinib
Radiation therapy: I am not sure which drugs are being used for this type of therapy (if any)??? Can you help with this section as well.
What are the most common side effects of chemotherapy?
