Patient Education
Cabozantinib (liver and kidney cancer)
Cabozantinib (Cabometyx) is used to treat advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC; a type of cancer that begins in the cells of the kidneys). It is also used along with nivolumab (Opdivo) to treat advanced RCC in patients who have not yet received a treatment for RCC. Cabozantinib (Cabometyx) is also used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC; a type of liver cancer) in people who were previously treated with sorafenib (Nexafar). Cabozantinib (Cabometyx) is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Cabozantinib is also available as a capsule (Cometriq) to treat a certain type of thyroid cancer. This monograph only gives information about cabozantinib tablets (Cabometyx) for advanced RCC or HCC. If you are using this medication for thyroid cancer, read the monograph entitled cabozantinib (thyroid cancer).

Cancer Chemotherapy
Normally, your cells grow and die in a controlled way. Cancer cells keep growing without control. Chemotherapy is drug therapy for cancer. It works by killing the cancer cells, stopping them from spreading, or slowing their growth. However, it can also harm healthy cells, which causes side effects.
You may have a lot of side effects, some, or none at all. It depends on the type and amount of chemotherapy you get and how your body reacts. Some common side effects are fatigue, nausea, vomiting, pain, and hair loss. There are ways to prevent or control some side effects. Talk with your health care provider about how to manage them. Healthy cells usually recover after chemotherapy is over, so most side effects gradually go away.
Your treatment plan will depend on the cancer type, the chemotherapy drugs used, the treatment goal, and how your body responds. Chemotherapy may be given alone or with other treatments. You may get treatment every day, every week, or every month. You may have breaks between treatments so that your body has a chance to build new healthy cells. You might take the drugs by mouth, in a shot, as a cream, or intravenously (by IV).
