== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Cancer Pharmacology''' β The study of drugs (Antineoplastics) used in the treatment of cancer. * '''Chemotherapy''' β The use of "Cell-killing" (Cytotoxic) drugs that target cells that are "Dividing" (the hallmark of cancer). * '''Targeted Therapy''' β "Smart drugs" that only hit a specific "Broken protein" or "Genetic mutation" found only in cancer cells. * '''Immunotherapy''' β Drugs that "Unmask" the cancer so that the body's "Own Immune System" (T-cells) can find and destroy it. * '''Angiogenesis Inhibitors''' β Drugs that "Cut off the blood supply" to a tumor, essentially "Starving" the cancer to death. * '''Hormone Therapy''' β Drugs used to treat cancers (like Breast or Prostate) that use the body's "Hormones" as "Fuel." * '''Apoptosis''' β "Cellular Suicide." Most cancer drugs work by "Triggering" the cancer cell to kill itself. * '''Multi-Drug Resistance (MDR)''' β When a cancer "Learns" how to "Pump" the drug out of itself, making the treatment stop working. * '''Palliative Care''' β The use of drugs to "Reduce the pain and side effects" of cancer, even if the cancer cannot be cured. * '''Metastasis''' β The "Spreading" of cancer to other parts of the body, which is what makes it so deadly. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
