lomustine
Lomustine is a type of chemotherapy drug used to treat cancer. It belongs to a group of drugs known as alkylating agents which work by sticking to one of the cancer cell’s DNA strands. This prevents the cell from reproducing and spreading, which eventually leads to the death of the cancer cell. Lomustine is commonly used to treat brain tumors and Hodgkin's disease. Like all chemotherapy drugs, it can have side effects and is typically administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
