What is Sutent?

Sutent contains the prescription medicine sunitinib. Sutent is used for the treatment of:

• A rare cancer of the stomach, bowel, or esophagus called gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). It is used when you have tried imatinib mesylate, but it has either not stopped the tumor from growing, or you can not take imatinib
• Advanced kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma (RCC))
• Adults with kidney cancer that has not spread but are at high risk of RCC coming back after having kidney surgery
• Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET), a type of pancreatic cancer that has gotten worse and cannot be treated with surgery

It is not known if Sutent is safe and effective in children.

Sutent active ingredients

Sunitinib blocks the action of certain enzymes in the body known as tyrosine kinases. Some of these enzymes are involved in the development, spread, and growth of tumors. In tests, it has been seen that regorafenib stops the spread and growth of tumors in the body.

Sutent should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. Sutent is taken with or without food once per day. Sutent is taken for 4 weeks, followed by a 2-week break off the drug. The Sutent capsule should be taken whole and not crushed, chewed, or opened. You will need regular blood, urine, liver, and heart function tests while taking this medicine. Your doctor will decide how many treatment cycles you will need.
