The Generic name of this drug
Treatment Summary
Vinorelbine is a chemotherapy drug used to treat breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It was approved by the FDA in the 1990s specifically for NSCLC. Vinorelbine belongs to a group of drugs known as vinca alkaloids, which have been found to improve survival rates in patients with advanced NSCLC. However, treatment with vinorelbine can cause serious side effects. A study was done that showed that genetic mutations can affect how quickly the body clears vinorelbine, with some patients clearing the drug up to 4.3 times faster than others

How Navelbine Affects Patients
Vinorelbine is a medication used to fight tumors. It belongs to a group of drugs called vinca-alkaloids, which stop cancer cells from dividing by preventing them from forming the structures needed for cell division.
How Navelbine works in the body
Vinorelbine tartrate is a special type of vinca alkaloid that works to fight cancer. It does this by inhibiting the process of cell division, by attaching to the microtubule proteins in the cell. This prevents cells from dividing and reproducing, resulting in cell death. Vinorelbine also works to activate certain tumor suppressor genes, like p53, and deactivate certain cancer-promoting proteins. It also affects metabolism, respiration, and other essential cell functions. All of these effects together lead to the death of cancerous cells.
