Mechanism of action
This is a multi-agent chemotherapy regimen used in pediatric cancer treatment. Vincristine is a vinca alkaloid that binds to tubulin and prevents microtubule assembly, leading to cell cycle arrest and death. Course B1 typically refers to a standardized chemotherapy block in pediatric protocols (such as those for acute lymphoblastic leukemia), combining multiple cytotoxic agents to maximize tumor cell kill while managing resistance.
