Question 5

What is Cabometyx?

Accepted Answer

Cabometyx is a brand-name prescription drug used to treat advanced renal cell carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma, a cancer of the liver. Renal cell carcinoma is a cancer that starts in the tiny tubes in the kidney but then spreads to the rest of the kidney. Advanced stage (or stage 4) renal cell carcinoma is when the cancer has spread to other places in the body. Hepatocellular carcinoma, or HCC, is the most common form of liver cancer. It usually occurs in people with chronic liver damage, such as cirrhosis caused by hepatitis infections. Cabozantinib, the active ingredient in Cabometyx is classified as a “tyrosine kinase inhibitor.” Tyrosine kinases are proteins with several functions in the cell. One of these functions is to “signal” the cell to divide. These proteins become overactive in cancer cells, and this overactivity causes tumors to grow uncontrollably. Cabozantinib works by preventing tyrosine kinases from “signaling” cancer cells to divide. This stops the growth of cancer cells. Cabometyx is taken as a tablet once daily without food. Cabometyx is taken until it is no longer benefiting the patient or the side effects become too much of a threat to the patient's health.
