Avastin is approved for the treatment of cancer of the colon or rectum that has spread to other parts of the body. It must be given along with chemotherapy. Other types of cancers that it helps with includes certain types of lung cancer, kidney cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, and glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor).

Avastin is given as an infusion. That means you get it through a small needle in your vein or through a port, which is a device placed under your skin. Your doctor will decide your dose and duration and will monitor you for signs of an infusion reaction.
Chemotherapy attacks fast-growing cells, like cancer cells. In contrast, the purpose of Avastin is to prevent the growth of new blood vessels that feed tumors. This causes the tumour to shrink, or to stop growing.
