How Cabozantinib works ?
Cabozantinib works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that prompts multiplication of cancer cells, thereby slowing or stopping the spread of cancer cells.
Mechanism of ActionCabozantinib acts as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, blocking various enzymes involved in the growth and spread of cancerous tumors. By inhibiting these pathways, it disrupts the signals responsible for tumor proliferation and angiogenesis, ultimately helping to slow disease progression.
