Frequently asked questions
- What does Ifosfamide treat?
- Ifosfamide (Ifosfamide) may be used to treat breast neoplasms, hodgkin disease, lung neoplasms, non-hodgkin lymphoma, ovarian neoplasms, pancreatic neoplasms, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label).

- How does Ifosfamide work?
- Ifosfamide is a alkylating drug. Alkylating chemotherapy drugs attach chemical groups to a cell's DNA, forming cross-links that lock the two DNA strands together. This damage stops the cell from copying its DNA and dividing, which triggers it to die; because they are not limited to one phase of the cell cycle, they can act on cells whether or not they are actively dividing.
