Sunitinib is an oncology drug used to treat a variety of cancers, including gastrointestinal stromal tumors, renal cell carcinoma, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, meaning it works by blocking the action of certain proteins that can cause cancer cells to grow and divide. Sunitinib is typically administered orally, and is available in both capsule and tablet form. Sunitinib is a relatively new drug, having been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2006. It has since become a popular treatment option for many types of cancer, due to its effectiveness and relatively low side effects. Sunitinib is also used in combination with other drugs to treat certain types of cancer, such as advanced renal cell carcinoma. Some of the companies in the Sunitinib market include Pfizer, Novartis, and AstraZeneca. These companies manufacture and distribute the drug, as well as provide support and resources for patients and healthcare professionals. Show Less Read more
