WHAT MYOCET LIPOSOMAL IS AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR
Myocet liposomal contains a medicine called “doxorubicin”, which
damages tumour cells. This type
of medicine is called “chemotherapy”. The medicine is contained
inside very small droplets of fat
called “liposomes”.

of breast cancer that has spread
(“metastatic breast cancer”). It is used with another medicine
called “cyclophosphamide”. Please also

The use of Myocet liposomal should be confined to units specialised in
