How many months can Entrectinib take to cure the disease?

Entrectinib (Entrectinib) is a targeted therapy drug. Its therapeutic effect and treatment duration will vary depending on individual differences, tumor type, disease stage, genetic mutation and other factors. Therefore, it is difficult to determine a specific time frame for complete cure of patients.

Targeted therapy drugs are generally different from traditional chemotherapy drugs in that they work to interfere with specific molecular signaling pathways within cancer cells to inhibit tumor growth and spread. For some tumors harboring specific genetic mutations, entrectinib may exhibit significant antitumor activity, causing tumors to shrink or halt progression.

However, completely curing cancer is often a complex process. Even if a drug can effectively inhibit tumors, factors such as the latent state of tumor cells and the development of drug resistance need to be considered. In some cases, patients may require long-term maintenance therapy to prevent tumor recurrence or progression.

For entrectinib treatment, doctors will develop a personalized treatment plan based on the patient's specific conditions. This may include dose adjustments of the drug, ongoing monitoring of tumor response and efficacy, and adjustments to treatment strategies as the disease changes.

Entrectinib has been launched in China, but due to its short time on the market, it has not yet been included in the medical insurance catalog. Since it has just been launched, it is difficult to purchase domestically and the price is very high. For specific prices, please consult the hospital pharmacy at that time. There are original drugs and generic drugs abroad. The original drugs abroad are mainly European versions of original drugs. The price is about 45,000 yuan. The price is relatively high and may be unaffordable for ordinary families. Generic drugs are mainly Lao generic drugs, with prices ranging from 4,000 to 8,000yuan, which are much cheaper than original drugs, and the ingredients of original drugs and generic drugs are basically the same.
