An antineoplastic is a medication used to treat malignant tumors, working through various mechanisms to kill or inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Antineoplastic drugs are broadly grouped into cytotoxic agents, which mainly work by damaging DNA, and non-cytotoxic agents, which mainly work as molecularly targeted therapies aimed at a specific cancer pathway.
