WHAT LENVIMA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT LENVIMA IS
LENVIMA is a medicine that contains the active substance lenvatinib.
It is used to treat progressive or
advanced thyroid cancer in adults when radioactive iodine treatment
has not helped to stop the disease.
HOW LENVIMA WORKS
LENVIMA blocks the action of proteins called receptor tyrosine kinases
(RTKs), which are involved
in the development of new blood vessels that supply oxygen and
nutrients to cells and help them to
grow. These proteins can be present in high amounts in cancer cells,
and by blocking their action
LENVIMA may slow the rate at which the cancer cells multiply and the
tumour grows and help to cut
off the blood supply that the cancer needs.
