Part of a group of medications called antimetabolites, gemcitabine works to prevent the growth and spread of cancer cells for various types of cancers. Gemcitabine is used for treating ovarian cancer, breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer. From time to time, gemcitabine is also used for treating something other than the cancers mentioned above. Among these possible “off-label” gemcitabine uses are the treatment of bladder cancer or mesothelioma.
