Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) has received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration to sell its kidney cancer drug, Inlyta, in the US. The drug is expected to generate about $140 million in revenues this year, and as much as $800 million annually by 2017.

Shares have not reacted, down about -0.7% currently, because the drug is the latest of seven treatments for kidney cancer.
