Uses
Targretin (Bexarotene) treats a type of skin cancer which is known as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, often abbreviated to CTCL. Patients prescribed this cancer treatment have usually already tried other alternative treatments unsuccessfully. It is a retinoid vitamin A derivative which is shown to effectively slow or prevent the spread of cancer cells.

Recently Bexarotene has received a large amount of attention from respectable newspapers due to the mounting evidence it can treat Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease currently has no cure, so there is great interest in this medication as viable cure or maintenance treatment for the disease.
