Description

Etoposide injection (VP-16) is administered alongside other cancer medications to manage testicular cancer and small cell lung cancer. It is sometimes utilized for treating various cancers in both men and women. Etoposide falls under the category of antineoplastic agents. While the precise mechanism of etoposide against cancer remains unknown, it appears to disrupt the proliferation of cancer cells, leading to their demise. Due to its impact on normal cell growth, etoposide may induce various effects, some of which could be severe and necessitate reporting to a healthcare provider. Adverse effects, such as hair loss, may raise concerns, although they are not necessarily critical. Certain effects might only manifest months or years following the drug's administration.
