FLT3 and renal cell carcinoma: Sorafenib, an FDA-approved kinase inhibitor drug used for almost 15 years for the treatment of RCC, has multiple kinase inhibition activities, including cell surface tyrosine kinases (e.g., vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, VEGFR; platelet-derived growth factor receptor, PDGFR; tyrosine-protein kinase kit, KIT; Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3, FLT3; RET proto-oncogene, RET) and downstream intracellular serine/threonine kinases (e.g., both wild-type and mutant BRAF and CRAF) [95].
