Cyclophosphamide

Cyclophosphamide is used to treat different types of cancers such as mycosis fungoides, neuroblastoma, ovarian cancer, eye cancer, and breast cancer. It is not used in isolation but in conjunction with other medicines. Being an antineoplastic, it slows down the growth and spread of the cancer cells. It is also used to treat kidney problems found in children.
