Uses and Benefits of CABOTRES 40MG TABLET (CABOZANTINIB 40MG)
Cabozantinib is used to treat advanced kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma), liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) in patients who have already received other treatment, and a specific type of thyroid cancer (medullary thyroid cancer).
WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR
