NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable 4-anilinoquinazoline. Vandetanib selectively inhibits the tyrosine
kinase activity of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), thereby
blocking VEGF-stimulated endothelial cell proliferation and migration and reducing
tumor vessel permeability. This agent also blocks the tyrosine kinase activity of
epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a receptor tyrosine kinase that mediates
tumor cell proliferation and migration and angiogenesis.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance being studied in the treatment of lung cancer and other types
of cancer. It may block the growth and spread of tumor cells and prevent the growth
of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Vandetanib is a type of tyrosine kinase
inhibitor and a type of antiangiogenesis agent.;
