What is the most common chemotherapeutic agent?

Alkylating agents were among the first anti-cancer drugs and are the most commonly used agents in chemotherapy today. Although alkylating agents may be used for most types of cancer, they are generally of greatest value in treating slow-growing cancers. Alkylating agents are not as effective on rapidly growing cells.
