How much does a box of Cabozantinib cost? Are you covered by medical insurance?

The main mechanism of action of Cabozantinib (Cabozantinib) is to inhibit multiple tyrosine kinases, which play important roles in tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis. By interfering with these key signaling pathways, cabozantinib inhibits tumor growth and spread.

Caboozantinib is an oral targeted therapy commonly used to treat certain cancers. It belongs to a class of drugs called multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

The indications of Cabozantinib mainly include renal cell carcinoma (Renal Cell Carcinoma, referred to asRCC): used for the treatment of advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Thyroid Cancer (Thyroid Cancer): used for the treatment of metastatic thyroid cancer. Hepatocellular Carcinoma (Hepatocellular Carcinoma, referred to as HCC): used for hepatocellular carcinoma that relapses or progresses after previous treatment with sorafenib (Sorafenib).

As a targeted therapy drug, the side effects and contraindications of cabozantinib need to be carefully considered. Patients should consult a doctor before use and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.

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.
