Description

Surufatinib is approved in China for the treatment of advanced neuroendocrine tumors and has shown efficacy in certain gastrointestinal stromal tumors. In colorectal cancer, it remains investigational with ongoing clinical trials evaluating its potential role as a targeted therapy, particularly in combination with other agents or in refractory cases.

Mechanism of Action

Surufatinib is a small molecule receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively targets vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR) and colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R), thereby inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and macrophage-mediated tumor progression.
