Tamoxifen is used to treat breast cancer. It works by binding to estrogen receptors in breast cells and blocking the effects of estrogen, which can stimulate the growth of some breast cancers. Common side effects of doxorubicin include alopecia (hair loss) and cardiotoxicity. Methotrexate is commonly dosed once weekly and should be avoided with liver fibrosis or during treatment with aspirin or cimetidine. Colonoscopy every 10-15 years is recommended for colorectal cancer screening in average-risk patients aged 50-75.

Currently, only four agents are licensed for intrathecal chemotherapy
They are methotrexate, cytarabine, hydrocortisone, and, rarely, thiotepa. Administration of other chemotherapeutic agents such
as vincristine via the intrathecal route can lead to fatal outcomes.

Q- 50 year's old and colorectal cancer which test should undergo?
Colonoscopy — Colonoscopy is the most accurate and versatile diagnostic test for CRC, since it can localize and biopsy lesions
throughout the large bowel, detect synchronous neoplasms, and remove polyps.
American College of Physicians recommended that average-risk adults aged 50 to 75 years should be screened for colorectal
cancer by one of the following strategies:
-Annual high-sensitivity FOBT or FIT
-Flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years
-High-sensitivity FOBT or FIT every 3 years plus flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years
-Colonoscopy every 10 years
