How long should I take Cabozantinib?

The timing of taking Cabozantinib (Cabozantinib) depends on the patient's specific condition and response to treatment. It is often used in the management of tumors as long-term maintenance therapy, especially in patients with advanced or metastatic cancer. Treatment duration may vary based on factors such as individual differences, cancer type, disease progression, and treatment goals.

Generally, doctors will decide whether to continue using cabozantinib and adjust the dose based on the patient's condition and treatment response. If a patient responds well to cabozantinib treatment and has no obvious serious adverse effects, the doctor may recommend continuing cabozantinib as maintenance therapy to continue to control tumor growth and progression. In this case, patients may need to take cabozantinib long-term until disease progression or serious adverse effects occur.

However, for some patients, cabozantinib treatment may need to be discontinued due to poor response to treatment, development of resistance, or serious adverse effects. Adjustments to the treatment plan need to be made under the guidance of a doctor, and the patient's condition and treatment effects need to be closely monitored.

In short, the taking time of cabozantinib varies depending on individual differences and condition. Patients should closely follow their doctor's recommendations while using cabozantinib and undergo regular review and evaluation to ensure optimal treatment effects and the best strategy for managing their tumors.

Cabozantinib is not yet available in China and is not included in medical insurance, so it needs to be purchased through overseas channels. There are original drugs abroad, which cost around 35,000~46,000 yuan. Foreign generic drugs are mainly Lao generic drugs and Bangladeshi generic drugs, with prices ranging from 1,300 to 2,700 yuan. The price is much cheaper than original drugs and is more suitable for the needs of patients in ordinary families. The ingredients of original drugs and generic drugs are basically the same.
