Sutent is a brand name medication used in the treatment of three types of cancer, specifically kidney, pancreas and gastrointestinal cancer.
Doctors prescribe Sutent to stop the growth of cancer cells and reduce the size of tumours in patients with kidney cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pancreatic NET).
Sutent works by affecting a specific enzyme called tyrosine kinase which interferes with the growth of cancerous cells as well as the growth of surrounding blood vessels which feed the tumour.
Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. For GIST and kidney cancer, your doctor may prescribe one or more six-week cycles, where 50mg is taken orally once daily for four weeks, followed by two weeks with no medicine. For pancreatic NET, the usual adult dose is 37.5mg taken orally once each day.
These may not be all the side effects of Sutent 12.5mg.
Do not take Sutent if you are allergic to the generic ingredient, sunitinib, or any of the other ingredients in the formulation. You should not take Sutent if you are pregnant.
Tell your doctor prior to taking this medication if any of the following apply to you now or in the past: thyroid problems, adrenal gland problems, weakness, bleeding problems, high blood pressure, heart problems or a history of fainting spells.
Store this medication between 15°C to 30°C. Keep out of reach of children.
Cancer is a disease characterized by the development of abnormal cells that multiply uncontrollably and invade normal body tissue. Normally, cells grow and divide to form new cells as needed. New cells take the place of old or damaged cells. In cancer, the process goes wrong and the build up of extra cells often forms a mass of tissue called a tumour. Tumours can occur anywhere the body such as in the kidneys. Kidney cancer cells can break away from the tumour and spread through the blood to the lungs, bones or liver. Symptoms vary depending on the type of cancer you have. Symptoms of kidney cancer may include a lump on your side, blood in the urine, pain in your side or fever.
