Regorafenib in Cancer Biology: Evidence and Limits
2026-10-03
Regorafenib, also known as BAY 73-4506, is a multikinase inhibitor studied in angiogenesis and oncology research. Recent melanoma work links its activity to reduced RRM2 and altered ERK/E2F3 signaling, but the evidence remains primarily preclinical and does not establish clinical benefit in melanoma.
