Docetaxel (Taxotere Â®) Docetaxel is a chemotherapy drug used to treat cancers including breast, prostate, non-small cell lung cancer, stomach and head and neck cancers. This information should ideally be read with our general information about chemotherapy and the type of cancer you have.
Depending on the characteristics of the cancer, a targeted therapy medicine, such as Herceptin (chemical name: trastuzumab), may be used in combination with some chemotherapy regimens. For example, the TCH regimen includes Taxotere, Herceptin, and carboplatin. Your doctor may talk about certain groups of chemotherapy medicines: 1  Anthracyclines are chemically similar to an antibiotic. Anthracyclines damage the genetic material of cancer cells, which makes the cells die. 2  Taxanes interfere with the way cancer cells divide. Taxol, Taxotere, and Abraxane are taxanes.
