Frequently asked questions about Bevacizumab
Q. What kinds of cancer can Bevicra Injection be used for ?
Bevicra Injection 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).
Q. How is Bevicra Injection given?
Bevicra Injection 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.
Q. How long can I take Bevicra Injection for?
You keep taking Bevicra Injection as long as your disease is controlled and your side effects are manageable. Your doctor will determine whether you should stop taking Bevicra Injection. If your cancer progresses during this initial treatment, talk to your doctor if a different chemotherapy may be an option.
Q. How Bevicra Injection works differently from chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy attacks fast-growing cells, like cancer cells. In contrast, the purpose of Bevicra Injection is to prevent the growth of new blood vessels that feed tumors. This causes the tumour to shrink, or to stop growing.
Q. Does a person taking Bevicra Injection still need chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy is still needed along with taking Bevicra Injection. It makes chemotherapy work better.
