Melphalan - IV (Alkeran®, L-PAM, IVRA, Evomela®)
Melphalan kills cancer cells through a process called alkylation. Alkylation damages the DNA of cells, which prevents them from dividing and causes them to die. Since cancer cells divide faster than healthy cells, cancer cells are more sensitive to this damage. In this way, Melphalan slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in your body.
