Vinorelbine (NVB), sold under the brand name Navelbine among others, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat a number of types of cancer.[4] This includes breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer.[4] It is given by injection into a vein or by mouth.[4][1]

Common side effects include bone marrow suppression, pain at the site of injection, vomiting, feeling tired, numbness, and diarrhea.[4] Other serious side effects include shortness of breath.[4] Use during pregnancy may harm the baby.[4] Vinorelbine is in the vinca alkaloid family of medications.[1] It is believed to work by disrupting the normal function of microtubules and thereby stopping cell division.[4]

Vinorelbine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1994.[4] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[5][6]
