NCI's drug information summaries provide consumer-friendly information about drugs that are used to treat cancer or conditions related to cancer. There are summaries for individual drugs and for commonly used drug combinations.

Summaries for Individual Drugs

Summaries for individual drugs cover the uses of the drugs, research results, possible side effects, approval information, and ongoing clinical trials. The list below includes brand and generic drug names for individual drug summaries. For each brand name, the generic name is shown in parentheses.

Summaries for Drug Combinations

Summaries for drug combinations include the common abbreviation for each combination, a list of the drugs that make up the combination, and what the combination is used for. When a summary for any of the individual drugs in a combination is available, a link to that summary is included. The drug combination summaries are listed by their abbreviation or common name and shown in capital letters in the list below.
