• Breast cancer (early and metastatic stages)

Mechanism of Action

Paclitaxel works by promoting the stabilization of microtubules and preventing their normal breakdown. This disrupts the normal process of cell division (mitosis), leading to cell cycle arrest and ultimately cancer cell death. Its action is most effective against rapidly dividing tumor cells.
