Avastin May Slow Advanced Colon Cancer

A new study reveals that the drug Avastin may be successful in stopping tumor growth in advanced colon cancer patients. Avastin has previously shown success in treating lung cancer. It works by cutting off the blood supply to tumors and thereby starving it.

In a study of more than 1,400 patients, those who took the drug Avastin in addition to standard chemotherapy remained alive without worsening of their disease about six weeks longer than those with chemotherapy alone, says researcher Leonard B. Saltz, M.D.
