📋Overview
Temozolomide is a chemotherapy medication primarily used in the management of certain types of brain tumors, such as glioblastoma multiforme and anaplastic astrocytoma. It works by interfering with the growth of cancer cells, ultimately leading to their destruction. Temozolomide is often associated with the treatment of malignant brain cancers and is recognized for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Its use is typically considered in cases where tumors are aggressive or have recurred.
