How Does Avastin Work?

Tumor cells release a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF stimulates the growth of new blood vessels, which tumors need to grow and spread.

Avastin binds to VEGF, preventing it from interacting with its receptors on endothelial cells. Endothelial cells are the cells that line blood vessels.

Without VEGF signaling, endothelial cells cannot form new blood vessels. This starves the tumor of oxygen and nutrients, which can slow its growth or even shrink it.
