It is often confusing when we talk about drugs because their names sound strange to our ear and they have more than one name. Once a drug is approved it has two names; a generic name and a brand name.

Use this chart if you need to clarify the names of the drugs you need to know when you discuss your treatment concerns with your medical team and as you do your own personal research into your own cancer.
