WHAT AVASTIN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Avastin contains the active substance bevacizumab, which is a
humanised monoclonal antibody (a
type of protein that is normally made by the immune system to help
defend the body from infection
and cancer). Bevacizumab binds selectively to a protein called human
vascular endothelial growth
factor (VEGF), which is found on the lining of blood and lymph vessels
in the body. The VEGF
protein causes blood vessels to grow within tumours, these blood
vessels provide the tumour with
nutrients and oxygen. Once bevacizumab is bound to VEGF, tumour growth
is prevented by blocking
the growth of the blood vessels which provide the nutrients and oxygen
to the tumour.
Avastin is a medicine used for the treatment of adult patients with
advanced cancer in the large bowel,
i.e., in the colon or rectum. Avastin will be administered in
combination with chemotherapy treatment
containing a fluoropyrimidine medicine.
Avastin is also used for the treatment of adult patients with
metastatic breast cancer. When used for
patients with breast cancer, it will be administered with a
chemotherapy medicinal product called
paclitaxel or capecitabine.
Avastin is also used for the treatment of adult patients with advanced
non-small cell lun
