Etoposide

Etoposide is a chemotherapy drug that is usually given to treat lung, ovarian and testicular cancer.

Etoposide is a colourless fluid. It is also available as 50mg and 100mg pale pink capsules.

Etoposide can cause a rash, which may be itchy.

Etoposide is one of the most widely used antineoplastics.

Etoposide is often incorrectly referred to as a topoisomerase inhibitor in order to avoid using the term "poison" in a clinical setting.
