Introduction of Daunorubicin

Daunorubicin is used to treat acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphocytic leukemia. Daunorubicin is a type of antibiotic that is only used in cancer chemotherapy. It slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in your body. The length of treatment depends on the types of drugs you are taking, how well your body responds to them, and the type of cancer you have.

Daunorubicin is also used to treat neuroblastoma. Daunorubicin has been used with other cancer- fighting drugs to treat the blastic phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia.
