Cabazitaxel

How it works

Interferes with cell division, causing cancer cells to die.

Cancer types

Prostate Cancer— All patients

Efficacy

In clinical trials, cabazitaxel significantly improved overall survival and delayed disease progression in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Side effects

Severe

This treatment carries a higher risk of serious side effects. Close medical monitoring is required throughout treatment.
