NCIt definition : The maleate salt of an indole ether quinazoline derivative with antineoplastic activities.
Competing with adenosine triphosphate, cediranib binds to and inhibits all three vascular
endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR-1,-2,-3) tyrosine kinases, thereby blocking
VEGF-signaling, angiogenesis, and tumor cell growth.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance being studied in the treatment of some types of cancer. Cediranib
