* 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)
* Cyclophosphamide
* Docetaxel (Taxotere)
* Doxorubicin
* Methotrexate
* Paclitaxel protein-bound (Abraxane)
These drugs are often used in various combinations as part of chemotherapy regimens. Your oncologist will determine which specific drug or combination is best based on your cancer's characteristics and how you respond to treatment.
It's worth noting that chemotherapy is typically administered in a medical facility or cancer center. While chemotherapy can cause side effects, studies have shown it can reduce the risk of death by 7 to 33 percent in people with metastatic breast cancer.
Your treatment plan will be tailored specifically to you, and chemotherapy is often combined with other therapies like hormone therapy or targeted treatments to make it more effective.
