    Asparaginase is a medicine that helps treat certain types of leukemia. It works by breaking down a substance called asparagine, which cancer cells need to grow. Without enough asparagine, the cancer cells can't survive.

    There are three kinds of asparaginase:
    - Regular asparaginase: Made from a type of bacteria
    - Erwinia asparaginase: Made from a different type of bacteria
    - Pegaspargase: Modified version of regular asparaginase

    Each type of asparaginase works similarly to stop cancer cells from growing, but some have fewer side effects than others.
