📋Overview
Avastin is a medication that targets and inhibits the growth of blood vessels that supply nutrients to tumors. It is commonly associated with the treatment of various types of cancers, including colorectal, lung, and kidney cancers. By blocking a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Avastin helps to slow the progression of cancer. Its use is often considered in cases where limiting blood supply to tumors may be beneficial.
