Bleocip is a cancer medication that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. It is classified as an antitumor antibiotic. Antitumor antibiotics are made from natural products produced by species of the soil fungus Streptomyces. These drugs act during various phases of the cell cycle, and each drug acts during a specific portion of the cell-cycle

MEDICINE USES :

Bleomycin is used to treat squamous cell carcinoma, a skin cancer that can affect the mouth, throat, nose and sinuses, penis, vagina, cervix, and other. Bleocip is also used to treat Hodgkin’s disease and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, testicular cancer, and malignant pleural effusion (a build-up of fluid in the outer tissues of the lungs, caused by certain types of cancer).
