Description
AXINAMO (Axitinib) is an anti-cancer medicine used in the treatment of kidney cancer.
USES
- Advanced kidney cancer
It belongs to the category of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which interfere with the growth of blood vessels inside the cancer cells. It also acts against a protein called receptor tyrosine kinases to interrupt cell signalling, ultimately stopping the growth and spread of cancer cells.
Axitinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used primarily in the treatment of advanced kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma). It works by blocking certain proteins that promote the growth of cancer cells, thereby slowing or stopping tumor growth.
Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC): Axitinib is used as therapy for patients with advanced or metastatic RCC, particularly after other treatments like sunitinib or bevacizumab have failed.
