Cizumab 100mg Injection

About

Cizumab 100mg Injection is a monoclonal antibody, a type of targeted therapy designed to specifically bind to and inhibit certain biological targets involved in disease progression. While the exact target depends on the specific 'zumab' drug, many in this class, such as those targeting Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), are used in oncology to inhibit angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow and spread. Other monoclonal antibodies may target immune checkpoints or specific cell surface receptors, modulating immune responses or directly attacking cancer cells.

This targeted approach offers a more precise treatment strategy compared to traditional chemotherapy, often leading to improved efficacy and a different spectrum of side effects. Cizumab is administered intravenously, typically in a hospital or clinic setting, under the supervision of healthcare professionals. Its use is guided by specific diagnostic criteria and patient characteristics, often as part of a combination regimen with other anticancer agents or as monotherapy.
