Abstract

  Cancer is one of the most deadly diseases in the world with thousands of deaths occurring globally from the disease. Despite several interventions, chemotherapy has proven to be one of the most effective treatment patterns used for majority of cancer types. This review is aimed at emphasizing the current updates with cancer chemotherapy suggesting the potentials for a new set of chemotherapy agents in cancer treatment.

Keywords: Cancer; Chemotherapy; Disease; Treatment
