Pazopanib is like a superhero medicine for fighting cancer, particularly a type called renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which starts in the kidneys. 

Imagine cancer cells as troublemakers in the body, growing and spreading where they shouldn't. Well, Pazopanib targets these troublemakers by blocking specific proteins that help them grow and spread faster.

When someone takes Pazopanib, it goes into their body and finds these proteins in the cancer cells. Then, it puts a stop sign in front of them, telling them to slow down or even stop growing. It's like turning off the fuel that makes the cancer cells go.

So, in simple terms, Pazopanib helps slow down or stop the growth of RCC by blocking the proteins that fuel its growth. It's an important tool in the fight against cancer.
