Methotrexate is the generic name of an anti-metabolite type of chemotherapeutic drug. Anti-metabolite drugs block some steps in metabolism (i.e, production or breakdown) of certain molecules in the body.
Some women with breast cancer of Stage I and higher receive adjuvant (i.e., post-surgical) treatment with methotrexate alone or in combination with other types of chemotherapeutic drugs.
