NCIt definition : An ethylsulfonyl derivative of arotinoic acid with differentiation inducing and potential
antineoplastic activities. Like other retinoic acid agents, etarotene binds to and
activates retinoic acid receptors (RARs), thereby inducing changes in the expression
of certain genes leading to cell differentiation and decreased cell proliferation
in susceptible cells.;
