📋Overview
Crizotinib is a targeted therapy drug primarily used in the management of certain types of cancer. It works by inhibiting specific proteins involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells, particularly those with genetic alterations such as ALK or ROS1 mutations. Crizotinib is most commonly associated with non-small cell lung cancer that exhibits these genetic changes. Its use represents a personalized approach to cancer treatment based on the molecular characteristics of the tumor.
