Chemotherapy (JEB) is frequently administered as a cocktail of medicines. Because multiple medicines destroy cancer cells in different ways, combinations typically perform better than single treatments.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized each of the medicines in this combination to treat cancer or cancer-related disorders.
