Clinical interpretation should include the disease stage, histology, treatment history, and any molecular or receptor feature expressly named in the indication. The mechanism is useful for understanding why those selection criteria matter and why another drug from the same broad category may not be interchangeable.

Because labels and guideline-supported uses can change, current product information should be checked when the entry is applied clinically.
