Lenvima (generic name Lenvatinib) is considered a targeted treatment, not a chemotherapy drug. A targeted cancer treatment works by affecting specific target molecules that lead to the growth and spread of cancer. Lenvima blocks the enzyme tyrosine kinase, a protein that helps cells to grow and divide. It belongs to a class of medicines called tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors.
