Mechlorethamine is a cancer (antineoplastic) medication. Mechlorethamine interferes with the

lymphosarcoma, chronic myelocytic or chronic lymphocytic leukemia, lung cancer and mycosis
fungoides. Mechlorethamine is also used to treat certain other blood disorders (polycythemia vera) and
is sometimes injected into body spaces, such as the chest, abdomen or the sack containing the heart, to
stop the accumulation of fluids caused by cancer.
