Overview

Paclitaxel + pegylated liposomal doxorubicin is a combination chemotherapy regimen consisting of two cytotoxic agents. Paclitaxel is a taxane that stabilizes microtubules and inhibits their disassembly, thereby blocking cell division and inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is an anthracycline encapsulated in PEG-coated liposomes to enhance tumor delivery and reduce cardiotoxicity; it intercalates into DNA, inhibits topoisomerase II, and generates free radicals leading to DNA damage. This combination has been studied as first-line therapy for metastatic breast cancer[1] and advanced soft tissue sarcoma[2], showing efficacy with manageable toxicity profiles.
