Selumetinib

Selumetinib is a medication used primarily to treat certain types of cancer, particularly neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). It works by inhibiting specific proteins that promote cancer cell growth, thereby slowing the progression of tumors. By targeting these proteins, Selumetinib can help reduce tumor size and improve symptoms associated with the disease. It's taken as a pill and is part of ongoing research to better understand its effectiveness and potential use in other cancers. Like all medications, it may have side effects, so it’s important for patients to discuss its use with their healthcare provider.
