A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is used to treat a particular condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.
Antineoplastics or anticancer drugs affect growth and cell division i.e. are antiproliferative. They work by different mechanisms to prevent the development and spread of neoplastic cells.
They also affect rapidly dividing normal cells, therefore are likely to suppress the bone marrow, suppress growth, impair healing, cause sterility and cause hair loss.
