Dacarbazine (da-KAR-ba-zeen) (brand names DTIC, DTIC-Dome; also known as DIC or Imidazole Carboxamide) is an antineoplastic
chemotherapy drug used in the treatment of various cancers, among them
malignant melanoma and
Hodgkin lymphoma.
Antineoplastic drugs are drugs which interfere with cell growth and impede the formation of new tissue - in this case, tumor tissue. These drugs are also known as
cytotoxic drugs. Dacarbazine belongs to the family of chemicals known as
alkylating agents. Dacarbazine is normally administered by injection (a shot) or intravenous infusion (IV) under the immediate supervision of a doctor or nurse.
