Ceritinib/Ceritinib is a targeted therapy for ALK (tyrosine kinase) fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It belongs to the class of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, a drug that targets the ALK fusion protein in specific tumor cells. ALK Fusion-positive NSCLC is a specific subtype of lung cancer. The ALK gene and other gene fusions exist in its cancer cells, resulting in abnormal activity of ALK kinase, promoting the growth and spread of cancer cells.

Ceritinib/Ceritinib blocks the proliferation and spread of cancer cells by inhibiting the activity of ALK fusion protein, thereby inhibiting the development of tumors. Compared with traditional chemotherapy, targeted therapy is more targeted and can reduce the impact on normal cells, thus reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
