Abstract

Doxorubicin is used to treat various types of cancer, such as breast cancer, lung cancer, thyroid cancer, bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, as well as acute lymphoblastic leukemia through obstruction of DNA repair, membrane association, free radical generation and cell programmed death stimulation. The use of doxorubicin may cause many side effects such as heart poisoning, inhibition of bone marrow, and damage to the liver.
