GlossaryTyrosine Kinase Inhibitors

block enzymes that regulate cell growth and division

Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) are a class of medications that block the action of enzymes called tyrosine kinases, which are involved in the signaling pathways that regulate cell division and survival. By inhibiting these enzymes, TKIs can help to slow down or stop the growth of cancer cells, making them a valuable treatment option for certain types of cancer.
