Mechanism of action

Carboplatin is a platinum-based alkylating agent that cross-links DNA and prevents replication. Paclitaxel is a taxane that stabilizes microtubules and prevents cell division. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody against VEGF that inhibits tumor blood vessel formation, reducing nutrient supply to cancer cells. Together, these agents provide complementary cytotoxic and anti-angiogenic effects.
