Cabazirix contains Cabazitaxel, an anti-cancer medication belonging to the taxane class. It is primarily used in combination with prednisone or prednisolone to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) that has progressed despite prior chemotherapy, including treatments with docetaxel. Cabazirix(Cabazitaxel) is a vital therapeutic option for patients with advanced prostate cancer resistant to prior treatments. Its efficacy in extending survival must be balanced with its side effect profile, necessitating careful patient selection, premedication, and monitoring to optimize outcomes.
