UPPLÝSINGAR UM ALYMSYS OG VIÐ HVERJU ÞAÐ ER NOTAÐ
Alymsys inniheldur virka efnið bevacízúmab sem er manngert,
einstofna mótefni (tegund próteina sem
venjulega eru framleidd af ónæmiskerfinu til að aðstoða við
varnir líkamans gegn sýkingum og
krabbameini). Bevacízúmab binst sértækt próteini sem kallast
vaxtarþáttur innanþekju æða í mönnum
(VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor) og er að finna í þekju
blóð- og vessaæða líkamans. VEGF-
próteinið veldur því að æðar í æxlum vaxa, en þær sjá
æxlinu fyrir næringu og súrefni. Þegar
bevacízúmab hefur bundist VEGF er komið í veg fyrir æxlisvöxt
með því að hamla vexti æðanna sem
sjá æxlinu fyrir næringu og súrefni.
Alymsys er lyf sem notað er hjá fullorðnum sjúklingum með langt
gengið krabbamein í þörmum, þ.e.
ristli eða endaþarmi. Alymsys
