1. Anti-tumor angiogenesis: Crizotinib capsule inhibits tumor growth and metastasis by inhibiting tumor angiogenesis, which is one of its main anti-tumor mechanisms.

2. Inhibit tumor cell proliferation: In addition to inhibiting angiogenesis, crizotinib capsules can also directly inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells and further prevent the growth and spread of tumors.

3. Treatment of special lung cancer: Crizotinib capsules have a particularly significant therapeutic effect onALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer. Patients with this type of lung cancer usually face higher treatment difficulties and poor prognosis, and the emergence of crizotinib capsules provides a new treatment option for these patients.

If any symptoms of discomfort occur, you should seek medical treatment in time.
