Sunitinib (Sutent) for Renal Cell Cancer Blocking VEGF in Kidney Cancer is like Blocking Estrogen in Breast Cancer

Blocking VEGF in Kidney Cancer is like Blocking Estrogen in Breast Cancer Anti-VEGF agents have somewhat similar toxicities High-Dose Interleukin-2 can cure some patients with metastatic kidney cancer

Sorafenib (Nexavar) and Sunitinib (Sutent): Differences Sorafenib given BID Sorafenib probably less toxic Dispensed via mail-order pharmacies only Onyx/Bayer pharmaceuticals In trial in combinations Sunitinib given daily 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off Sunitinib probably more potent but more toxic with fatigue and mild hematologic toxicity Dispensed via local pharmacies Sugen/Pfizer pharmaceuticals In trial in combinations
