Alright…today, we will go over some common classes of drugs used in treating cancer and examples within each class. To remind you of this, this picture is a scene out of the latest sci-fi movie starring my main man…VIN EASEL. The plot?…Vin Easel and his crew battling a giant cancer crab.

Vinca alkaloids: Vinblastine, Vincristine

First up, are the Vinca alkaloids represented by Vin Easel. VIN BLASTING the crab is VINBLASTINE, and VIN with the CROSS is VINCRISTINE.

Antimetabolites – Methotrexate, Fluorouracil, Mercaptopurine

Next, we have the antimetabolites, represented by the T-Rex. The METH smoking T-REX is METH-O-TREX-ATE, his FLORAL shorts is FLUORO-URACIL, and his MERCEDES CAP is MER-CAP-TOPURINE. *we do not condone smoking meth*

Taxanes: Paclitaxel

Another class are the Taxanes, represented by the Tax Man. He’s is wearing a PACK of TAXES, which is PAC-LITAXEL.
