Sunitinib is a novel, oral, multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor with antiproliferative effects against cancer cells and antiangiogenic properties. Sunitinib was recently approved for the first-line treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and for the treatment of patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) after disease progression or intolerance to imatinib therapy. The main purpose of this benefit-risk assessment is to review data on sunitinib efficacy along with its toxicity in patients with GIST and RCC.
