Mechanism of action

Bevacizumab binds to circulating VEGF, preventing its interaction with VEGF receptors on endothelial cells. This inhibits the formation of new blood vessels that tumors require for growth and metastasis. By starving tumors of their blood supply, bevacizumab slows tumor progression and can enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy.
