ANTINEOPLASTIC AND IMMUNOMODULATING AGENTS<br />
The group QL comprises preparations, e.g. alkylating agents, antimetabolites, plant<br />
alkaloids and cytotoxic antibiotics, used in the treatment of malignant neoplastic<br />
diseases. Immunomodulating agents, both stimulating and suppressive agents, are<br />

Hormonal preparations specifically used in the treatment of neoplastic diseases<br />
should be classified in this group. Note that group QG03 - Sex hormones and<br />
