Ifosfamide is like a superhero medicine that fights against cancer. It works by damaging the DNA inside cancer cells, which are like the blueprints that tell the cells how to grow and multiply. By damaging the DNA, Ifosfamide stops the cancer cells from growing and spreading further in the body.

Think of it as breaking the legs of a robber so they can't run away and cause more trouble. Ifosfamide stops the cancer cells in their tracks, preventing them from causing harm to the body.

By targeting and damaging these cancer cells, Ifosfamide helps shrink tumors and improve symptoms, giving patients a better chance at fighting the disease.
