Etoposide injection is a chemotherapeutic drug used to treat several cancers, including lung cancer, testicular cancer, and lymphomas. It acts by blocking topoisomerase II, an enzyme required for DNA replication and cell division, resulting in the death of rapidly dividing cancer cells. Etoposide is provided intravenously, usually in a hospital or clinic, and the dosage is determined by parameters such as the type of cancer, the patient's body surface area, and overall health. Common adverse effects include low blood cell count, nausea, and hair loss.
