    yep

    I don't believe that there are any contra -indications. The mechanism of drugs vs radiations is different. Can your question be more specific? Like are you thinking that if you are on sutent, do you have to stop taking it if you are going to get radiation?

    Yes if you are on Sutent, do

    Yes if you are on Sutent, do you have to stop taking it if you are getting a radiation? or the other way around like if you are on radiation, do you have to stop radiation if you will be taking sutent? thanks.....
