GlossaryAnticancer (Antineoplastic agent)

inhibits the growth and spread of cancer cells

Anticancer, also known as antineoplastic or antitumor, refers to substances or treatments that inhibit the growth and spread of cancer cells. These agents work through various mechanisms, such as damaging the DNA of cancer cells, inhibiting cell division, or blocking the blood supply to tumors, ultimately aiming to eliminate or reduce the malignancy.
