VIP is not a single drug, but rather an acronym for a chemotherapy regimen consisting of three different drugs used to treat advanced-stage germ cell tumors, particularly gonadal cancers. The specific drugs included in the VIP regimen are:
- V - Etoposide
- I - Ifosfamide
- P - Cisplatin
This combination chemotherapy aims to target and destroy cancer cells, especially in cases where the disease has progressed or is resistant to other treatments. Each drug plays a specific role in disrupting cancer cell growth and division.
