WHAT STIVARGA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Stivarga contains the active substance regorafenib. It is a medicine
used to treat cancer by slowing
down the growth and spread of cancer cells and cutting off the blood
supply that keeps cancer cells
growing.
Stivarga is used to treat:
-
colon or rectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body in
adult patients who have received
other treatments or cannot be treated with other medicines
(fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy,
an anti-VEGF therapy and an anti-EGFR therapy)
-
gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST), a type of cancer of the
stomach and bowel, that has
spread to other parts of the body or is not amenable to surgery, in
adult patients who have been
previously treated with other anticancer medicines (imatinib and
sunitinib)
-
liver cancer in adult patients who have been previously treated with
another anticancer medicine
(sorafenib).
If you have any questions about how Stivarga works or why this
medicine has been prescribed for you,
please ask your doctor.
