What is Xalkori and how does it work?
Xalkori is a brand-name prescription medication used to treat certain types of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is specifically approved for cancers that test positive for genetic alterations in the ALK or ROS1 genes. The active ingredient, crizotinib, is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. In these specific cancers, abnormal tyrosine kinase proteins are overactive, signaling for uncontrolled cell division and tumor growth. Crizotinib works by blocking these proteins, which helps to inhibit tumor growth. It is taken as an oral capsule twice daily, with or without food, and treatment typically continues as long as it is effective and tolerated.
