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