The latest prices for a box of different versions of Platinib announced

Introduction: Platinib is a multikinase inhibitor used to treat certain types of cancer, mainly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and certain types of thyroid cancer. It is specifically used for cancers that exhibit a genetic marker called "RET" gene fusion. Doctors will test for this genetic marker to determine whether platinib is a suitable treatment for the patient.

Platinib targets and inhibits the activity of certain proteins involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells, particularly those with RET gene fusions. By inhibiting these proteins, Platinib can help slow or stop the progression of cancer.
