Topotecan

Uses

Topotecan is used in the treatment of ovarian cancer.

How it Works

How Topotecan works Topotecan is an anti-cancer medication that functions by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme called topoisomerase I, which is involved in the DNA replication of cancer cells. This action slows the growth of cancer cells and ultimately leads to their death.
