A targeted therapy
LENVIMA isn't chemotherapy; it is a kind of medicine known as targeted therapy. It is called that because it targets certain proteins on cancer cells that cause the cells to grow and multiply. Since healthy cells also contain these proteins, LENVIMA affects some healthy cells, which may cause serious side effects.
