bexarotene

This drug is a retinoid. The anti-tumor action of retinoids, as well as their potential in chemoprevention, supports the need to further identify the spectrum of responsive tumors, to identify the molecular mechanisms associated with retinoid action, and to identify and develop new retinoids that have unique properties and an improved therapeutic index.
