Polarised light micrograph (PLM) of cyclophosphamide crystals. Cyclophosphamide (cytophosphane) chemotherapy drug used to treat lymphoma, brain cancer
Polarised light micrograph (PLM) of cyclophosphamide crystals. Cyclophosphamide (cytophosphane) chemotherapy drug used to treat lymphoma, brain cancer, leukaemia, and some solid tumours. This nitrogen mustard alkylating agent is a cytotoxic drug because it interferes with the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) genetic material in cancer cells, causing cell death.
