sutent is a medicine that treats cancer. It comes in 12.5-mg, 25-mg, and 50-mg capsules. You take SUTENT once per day by mouth. Do not open the capsules.
索坦是一種抗癌藥物。它是一種膠囊劑,有12.5毫克、25毫克和50毫克三種不同的規格。

SUTENT has been approved by the FDA to treat patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). SUTENT is used when the medicine
Gleevec® (imatinib mesylate) does not stop the cancer from growing or when you cannot take Gleevec.
索坦已經被FDA批准用於治療胃腸道間質瘤(GIST)患者,適用於使用格列 (甲磺酸伊馬替尼)無效、進展或不能使用格列衛的患者。
SUTENT is available by prescription only. Your doctor has prescribed SUTENT because he or she believes it is the most appropriate treatment for you. SUTENT may not be appropriate for all GIST patients and has not been studied in children. For many patients, SUTENT may slow or stop the growth of cancer and may help to shrink tumors. SUTENT may not work the same in every person.
索坦隻能透過醫生處方獲得。醫生給您開索坦是因為他/她認為這是對您最好的治療方法。索坦並不適合所有的胃腸道間質瘤的患者,且並未對兒童患者進行研究。對很多患者,索坦可以延緩或阻止腫瘤的進展,並幫助消退腫瘤。但索坦對每個人的作用不一樣。
索坦的作用機理?
SUTENT may slow or stop some cancers, such as GIST. It works by blocking 2 basic processes that cause tumors to grow and spread. These processes are called proliferation and angiogenesis.
索坦可以延緩或阻止某些腫瘤的進展,如胃腸道間質瘤。它透過阻滯被稱為腫瘤繁殖和血管生成的兩個過程(引起腫瘤的生長和擴散)來發揮作用。
proliferation繁殖
This is when a cell divides, creating 2 cells where there used to be only 1. Like the other cells in your body, cancer cells divide. The difference is that cancer cells divide more times than they should, forming a tumor. SUTENT may help slow down this process.
這個過程指的是一個細胞一分為二,變成兩個細胞。像正常細胞一樣,癌細胞也是透過這種分裂的方式進行繁殖。它們的區別在於癌細胞比普通細胞分裂速度要快得多,從而形成腫瘤。索坦可以幫助延緩這個過程。

Angiogenesis 血管生成
This is when new blood vessels form. These new blood vessels give tumors the nutrients and oxygen they need to grow. SUTENT may help stop this process.
這個過程指的是新血管的形成。新形成的血管提供腫瘤生長所需的營養和氧分。索坦可以阻止這個過程。
SUTENT may help stop proliferation and angiogenesis by blocking the signals that cause them. Without these 2 processes, tumors cannot grow.
索坦可以透過阻止細胞信號傳導來阻止腫瘤細胞的繁殖和腫瘤血管的形成。沒有這兩個過程,腫瘤就不能生長。
怎樣和醫生溝通?需要告訴醫生什麼?
