Kinase Inhibitors

Kinase inhibitors are a type of medication used to block the action of kinases, which are enzymes that help cells communicate and grow. These inhibitors can disrupt the signaling pathways that lead to uncontrolled cell growth, making them particularly important in treating cancer. By inhibiting these enzymes, kinase inhibitors can slow down or stop the proliferation of cancer cells, helping to manage or reduce tumors. They are often targeted to specific types of cancer, allowing for more precise treatment with potentially fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.
