WHAT SUNITINIB SANDOZ IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Sunitinib Sandoz contains the active substance sunitinib, which is a
protein kinase inhibitor. It
is used to treat cancer by preventing the activity of a special group
of proteins which are
known to be involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells.
Sunitinib Sandoz is used to treat adults with the following types of
cancer:
-
Gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), a type of cancer of the
stomach and bowel,
where imatinib (another anticancer medicine) no longer works or you
cannot take
imatinib.
-
Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (MRCC), a type of kidney cancer that
has spread to
other parts of the body.
-
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pNET) (tumours of the
hormone-producing cells in
the pancreas) that have progressed or cannot be removed with surgery.
If you have any questions about how Sunitinib Sandoz works or why this
medicine has been
prescribed for you, ask your doctor.
