Capecitabine is a medication used in cancer treatment, particularly for breast, colorectal, and gastrointestinal cancers. It belongs to a class of drugs called antimetabolites. Capecitabine is converted into an active form in the body, which disrupts the growth of cancer cells by interfering with their DNA replication.
