Selumetinib
This oral medication targets a specific signaling pathway called MEK that cancer cells rely on to grow and divide uncontrollably. It is approved for children with neurofibromatosis type 1 and inoperable plexiform neurofibromas, and is being studied in melanoma and other MEK-driven cancers.
