Abstract

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as sorafenib and axitinib were developed to treat malignancies, including stage IV renal cell carcinoma. Recently, we experienced a patient with pancreatic side effects from both sorafenib and axitinib. We report this case and include a discussion of the literature.
