inhibits blood vessel growth. The drug mainly targets a cell protein formed by cancer called Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) which stimulates blood vessel growth. Cancer tumors release a large amount of VEGF which causes new nearby blood vessels to sprout, hence further feeds the cancer tumor with nutrients. These blood vessels also act as a pathway for the cancer to spread throughout the body. Avastin prevents cancer cell proliferation and inhibits endothelial growth by specifically binding

Cancer What is cancer? Cancer is a disease caused by an uncontrolled division of unusual cells in a part of the body. It is a disease of mitosis, which begins when one cell is transformed from a normal cell to a cancerous cell. Mitosis is a type of cell division which has 6 steps (Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis) that result in two daughter cells that are clones of the parent. Cancerous cells do not abide by the normal instructions of mitosis. Instead, the cells

Cancer is still seen by many as an incurable disease that slowly takes over healthy human tissue, and ultimately causes death. 2Through advances in medical science, different physical procedures have been developed to treat cancer – for example, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. In recent years however, there has been a growing perception by cancer specialists and patients that the onset and treatment of cancer may be affected by psychological factors. A new field of research called psycho-oncology

to physicians, technicians, and hospitals for specific cancer patients. The medical treatment, radiation therapy gives the patients and their family hope of curing the disease and to live the remainder of life cancer-free.
