Sunflower Oil Overview

Sunflower oil is a vegetable oil extracted from sunflower seeds, known for its mild flavor and light texture. It is widely used in cooking and baking due to its high smoke point, making it suitable for frying and sautéing, and is often incorporated into various dishes as a healthier alternative to saturated fats. Additionally, sunflower oil contains vitamin E and unsaturated fats.

Avapritinib Overview

  • Avapritinib is used to treat a certain type of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST; a type of tumor that grows in the wall of the stomach, intestine [bowel], or esophagus [tube that connects the throat with the stomach]) in adults that has spread to other parts of the body or that cannot be removed by surgery. It is also used to treat certain types of mastocytosis (a blood disorder in which there are too many mast cells [a certain kind of white blood cell]). Avapritinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps to stop or slow the spread of cancer cells.
