Avastin UsesAvastin uses pertain to the treatment of colorectal cancer as well as non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer. By binding to and inhibiting a particular protein that encourages the growth of new blood vessels, Avastin essentially "starves" the cancer of its blood supply. The drug is not approved for use in children. Off-label Avastin uses include the treatment of other types of cancer and macular degeneration.
