## About Solvent for Docetaxel Concentrate 120 Mg Injection (Docetaxel)

Solvent for Docetaxel Concentrate 120 mg Injection contains an active ingredient, Docetaxel, which is used in the treatment of prostate cancer, cancers of head and neck, breast cancer & non-small cell lung cancer. Breast cancer is cancer, which develops due to the unrestrained growth of breast tissue cells. The breast tissue contains milk-producing glands known as lobules & thin tubes called ducts. Cancer can start in either of these. Depending on where cancer starts, breast cancer is of two types: Ductal carcinoma, which develops in the cells of the lining of milk duct & Lobular carcinoma, which originates in the lobules. Breast cancer typically affects women. However, this cancer can also occur in men & children, though the incidence is rare. Lung cancer is one of the most widespread cancers in the world. It is the foremost cause of cancer death in men & women in India. Cigarette smoking causes the majority of lung cancers. The more cigarettes you smoked, and the earlier you started smoking, the greater is the risk of lung cancer. High levels of pollution, radiation, & asbestos exposure may also increase risk. Prostate cancer starts to develop when cells in the prostate gland begin to grow rapidly in an uncontrolled manner. It is the second most general type of cancer seen in males. In most cases, prostate cancer is slow-growing & stays undiagnosed because it does not show any symptoms. In some cases, the cancer cells grow & spread quickly. Head and neck cancer is a disease that involves abnormal cell growth of the tissues of the head and neck which may also have the potential to invade or spread to the other parts of the body. Cancer of head & neck generally begin in the cells called squamous cells that are present in the lining of the moist mucosal surfaces in the head & neck (e.g., inside of nose, throat, and mouth).This medicine is readily available with all the leading primary pharmacies, drugstores, and medical supply stores; however, this medication should be taken on doctor’s recommendation only.
