Gemcitabine is a cytidine analogue which was hailed as a futuristic anticancer drug when it was first approved for pancreatic cancer towards the end of the 20th century. Since then it has been one of the most well researched molecule which provided valuable options in patients who were refractory or resistant to first-line treatment in certain advanced cancers or were unable to use certain drugs for reaching the maximum cumulative dose in earlier protocols.
