Background: Cabozantinib (CBZ) is a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor with activity against MET, VEGFR2, FLT3, c-KIT, and RET. Pre-clinical studies in models of prostate cancer bone metastasis demonstrated that CBZ treatment induced both a suppression of tumour growth and an alteration in bone remodelling, suggesting that both tumour and bone microenvironment represented potential CBZ targets. This is the first study exploring the potential direct activity of CBZ in bone usin...
