AVASTIN 100MG/5ML INJECTION (Bevacizumab) – Targeted Anti-Cancer Therapy for Advanced & Metastatic Cancers

AVASTIN 100MG/5ML INJECTION contains Bevacizumab, a targeted biological anti-cancer medicine belonging to the class of monoclonal antibodies and anti-angiogenic agents. Avastin works by inhibiting Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), a protein responsible for the formation of new blood vessels that tumors need for growth and spread. By blocking VEGF, Avastin helps slow tumor progression and improve treatment outcomes in several advanced cancers.

Developed by Roche, Avastin is one of the world's most widely used targeted cancer therapies and is prescribed by oncologists as part of combination chemotherapy regimens or targeted treatment protocols. It is indicated for various cancers, including colorectal cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, kidney cancer, brain tumors, and certain liver cancers.

AVASTIN represents a major advancement in modern oncology because it targets tumor blood supply rather than directly attacking cancer cells, providing a more precise approach to cancer treatment while helping improve progression-free survival in many patients.

How AVASTIN Works

AVASTIN contains Bevacizumab, a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (VEGF-A).

By blocking VEGF, Avastin:

• Prevents new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis)
• Restricts blood supply to tumors
• Slows tumor growth
• Helps reduce cancer spread
• Enhances the effectiveness of chemotherapy in many cancers

This targeted mechanism allows oncologists to attack a critical pathway required for tumor survival and progression.

Active Ingredient

Bevacizumab

Bevacizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody and one of the first anti-angiogenic therapies approved for cancer treatment. It has been extensively studied and used globally in oncology practice.

Dosage & Administration

• AVASTIN is administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion.
• The dosage depends on:
