Afinitor

Afinitor (everolimus) is a medication used to treat certain types of cancer and specific medical conditions by inhibiting cell growth and division. It works by blocking a protein called mTOR, which helps cancer cells grow and multiply. Afinitor is typically taken as a daily oral tablet and is prescribed to manage conditions like advanced kidney cancer, certain brain tumors, and some hormone-related tumors. It can help slow disease progression but may cause side effects like mouth sores, infections, or fatigue. Your healthcare provider will determine if Afinitor is appropriate for your condition and monitor its effects.
