Axitinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used in advanced or metastatic kidney cancer. If the cancer has spread to the lungs, then the metastasis can cause erosion into blood vessels, which can lead to hemoptysis, which is bleeding in the cough. You better see your doctor for the same. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me for the same.
