NCIt definition : The tosylate salt of sorafenib, a synthetic compound targeting growth signaling and
angiogenesis. Sorafenib blocks the enzyme RAF kinase, a critical component of the
RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway that controls cell division and proliferation; in addition,
sorafenib inhibits the VEGFR-2/PDGFR-beta signaling cascade, thereby blocking tumor
angiogenesis.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A drug used to treat advanced kidney cancer and a type of liver cancer
that cannot be removed by surgery. It is also being studied in the treatment of other
