As of 2026-09-13

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 shows approved-linked disease relevance led by neoplasm. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 19 linked drugs keep the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P35968. Start with neoplasm, then reuse UniProt P35968 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program
neoplasm

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 shows approved-linked disease relevance led by neoplasm. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 19 linked drugs remain visible in the same block.

Start review with neoplasm because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include ALTIRATINIB, BMS-817378, CABOZANTINIB S-MALATE, CATEQUENTINIB. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
