Irinotecan is a chemotherapy drug used in the treatment of cancers, including colorectal cancer. It works by inhibiting the enzyme topoisomerase I, which is essential for DNA replication in cancer cells, thereby preventing their division and growth. It is often used in combination with other chemotherapy agents.
