How It Works

Gefimed works by inhibiting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a protein found on the surface of certain cancer cells. In many lung cancer patients, this receptor is overactive, causing cancer cells to grow and multiply rapidly. By blocking EGFR, Gefimed helps slow tumor growth, control the spread of cancer, and improve overall respiratory symptoms.
