Overview
Avastin 100mg injection is a prescription-based anticancer medicine used in the treatment of breast cancer, brain cancer, cervical cancer, kidney cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer. The active ingredient of the Avastin is Bevacizumab which belongs to the drug class of Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor.
