Afinitor is a prescription oral medication, with the active ingredient everolimus, used to treat several types of advanced cancers and certain tumors associated with a genetic condition called tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). It belongs to a class of drugs known as mTOR inhibitors, which are a form of targeted cancer therapy. By focusing on specific pathways that cancer cells use to grow, Afinitor helps to slow or stop their proliferation, offering a modern approach to cancer treatment for patients who meet specific criteria.
Afinitor works by blocking a specific protein in the body called the “mechanistic target of rapamycin,” or mTOR. This protein acts like a control switch within cells, regulating their growth, division, and survival. In many types of cancer, the mTOR pathway is overactive, which allows cancer cells to multiply uncontrollably. By inhibiting the mTOR protein, Afinitor effectively turns off this growth signal, which can slow the progression of the tumor, prevent the formation of new blood vessels that feed the tumor, and ultimately help manage the disease.
Afinitor is intended for adult and sometimes pediatric patients diagnosed with specific types of advanced or progressive diseases. Its use is highly targeted, meaning it is prescribed based on the cancer type, its genetic markers, and what other treatments have already been tried. For example, it’s used for postmenopausal women with advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, and for patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors (NET) of the pancreas, lung, or gastrointestinal tract. It is also a treatment option for advanced renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer) after other therapies have failed, and for certain non-cancerous tumors in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).
The dosage and administration of Afinitor must be determined by a qualified healthcare provider based on the specific condition being treated, the patient’s overall health, and their response to the medication. The tablets are typically taken orally once a day, at the same time each day, and can be taken either consistently with food or consistently without food. It is crucial to swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water and not to crush or chew them. Your doctor will monitor you closely and may adjust your dose as needed to maximize effectiveness while minimizing side effects.
Like most cancer treatments, Afinitor can cause side effects, which range from mild to severe. The most common side effects include mouth sores, rash, feeling weak or tired, nausea, and an increased risk of infections. Your healthcare team will monitor you for these and other potential effects, such as lung or breathing problems, kidney issues, or changes in blood sugar levels. It is very important to communicate openly with your doctor about any symptoms you experience, as many side effects can be managed effectively. In some cases, side effects may be serious and require immediate medical attention.
