LONSURF (Trifluridine Tipiracil) is an oral prescription medication used in the treatment of certain advanced cancers, primarily metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. It combines Trifluridine, a nucleoside analog that disrupts cancer cell DNA function, and Tipiracil, an enzyme inhibitor that increases Trifluridine’s effectiveness in the body.
