About Lynza 150 mg Tablet 30's
Lynza 150 mg Tablet 30's is an 'anti-cancer' drug used to treat various cancers, including ovarian, breast, pancreatic, and prostate. Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific body part grow and reproduce uncontrollably. The cancerous cells can attack and destroy surrounding healthy tissue, including organs.
