Medicinal information Orolimus
Medication Information: Orolimus is prescribed to treat some types of cancer. Orolimus is prescribed for kidney cancer, advanced breast cancer, and cancers that have spread due to pancreatic cancer.
In cancer, certain cells in the body grow and multiply out of control and excessively. Chemotherapy and anti-cancer drugs inhibit cell growth and proliferation. Everolimus blocks the function of a specific protein inside the cell, which controls the cell's growth signal, so by stopping this protein, cancer cells stop growing and multiplying.
