Docelieva 80mg Injection works by binding to a protein called beta-tubulin, which helps cells grow and divide. By doing this, it stops cancer cells from dividing properly and prevents the formation of structures needed for cell division. Additionally, Docelieva 80mg Injection reduces the activity of a gene called BCL2, which usually helps cancer cells survive. By lowering this gene's activity, the treatment helps cancer cells become more sensitive to natural cell death processes, making it easier for the body to fight against the cancer.
