Lenvatinib

Lenvatinib is a medication used to treat certain types of cancers, such as thyroid cancer, liver cancer, and kidney cancer. It works by blocking specific proteins that help tumors grow and develop new blood vessels. By inhibiting these proteins, Lenvatinib reduces the tumor's ability to grow and spread. It is taken orally as a capsule, and while it can be effective, it may also cause side effects like fatigue, high blood pressure, or diarrhea. Lenvatinib is prescribed by doctors who weigh its benefits against potential risks for each patient.
