From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of specific pharmacologic agents that are known to be of use in the treatment of cancer, otherwise known as chemotherapeutic agents. This list is organized by "type" of agent, though the subsections are not necessarily definitive and are subject to revision. Each drug is listed once (at present), though it might fall in more than one subsection.
A full alphabetical listing is included after the categorical listing.
