Sutent contains the active substance sunitinib, which is a protein

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 Sutent works or why this medicine
