How much is the medical insurance reimbursement price for Venetoclax?

Venetoclax (Venetoclax) is a targeted anticancer drug mainly used to treat hematological malignancies. Its main indications include chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The uniqueness of venetoclax is that it promotes cancer cell apoptosis by selectively inhibiting BCL-2 (BCL-2) protein to inhibit tumor growth. BCL-2The high expression of protein in cancer cells allows these cells to escape apoptosis. Venetoclax effectively kills cancer cells by blocking this mechanism.

Venetoclax is often used in patients who have failed or relapsed after other treatments, especially older patients who cannot tolerate traditional chemotherapy. Because of its strong targeting, it has less impact on healthy cells and has relatively mild side effects, but it still needs to be used under the guidance of a doctor. Common side effects include neutropenia, fatigue, nausea, infection, etc. Doctors often gradually increase the dose during treatment to reduce the risk of tumor lysis syndrome, a potentially serious complication caused by rapid rupture of cancer cells releasing their contents.
