CompositionSutent 25mg Capsule is primarily used for managing gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) in patients who have shown resistance to imatinib therapy or cannot tolerate it. It belongs to a class of medicines known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which are protein kinase inhibitors that target specific enzymes involved in cancer growth.
This medication is also used for treating metastatic renal cell carcinoma (MRCC), a type of kidney cancer that has spread beyond its original site to other parts of the body. Additionally, it helps in managing pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pNET), specifically those arising from hormone-producing cells in the pancreas that have either progressed despite treatment or cannot be surgically removed.
