Anti-tumor antibiotics
are anti-cancer drugs that are also called antineoplastics.
Anti-tumor antibiotics inhibit the growth of neoplastic
cells, which are abnormally growing cells. Anti-tumor
antibiotics are often used as chemotherapy and can result
in side effects such as vomiting and hair loss. Mitoxantrone
is an example of a chemotherapy anti-tumor antibiotic
which is used to treat prostate cancer.
