👉 Treponemicide is a medical term that refers to a specific class of medications used to treat or prevent bone marrow (blood) cancer. These drugs target and kill cells that have grown out of control, which can lead to blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Treponemicides are typically used as part of chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of these types of blood cancers.
