Cabazitaxel is a drug that belongs to the taxane family, similar to docetaxel and paclitaxel. It's as effective as docetaxel in treating tumors that respond to docetaxel but also works against tumors that have become resistant to it. Cabazitaxel works by binding to tubulin, a protein in cells, which helps stabilize microtubules, structures necessary for cell division. By stabilizing microtubules, cabazitaxel prevents cell division and slows down tumor growth. It mainly works during the M phase of the cell cycle.
