Abstract

The tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are small molecules of low molecular weight that inhibit tyrosine kinases, enzymes responsible for the activation of signal transduction cascades. Currently, a number of TKI received approval in various cancers, while others are in clinical development process: TKI are specifically clinically active when they target a tyrosine kinase (TK) with constitutional activity subsequent to a mutation, being then a master-gene driving transformation and tumour progression. Already, this drug-family provides a major therapeutic weapon against cancer.
