Key takeaways

VEGF antibodies are used to treat certain types of cancer. Some VEGF antibodies have other uses, such as treating certain eye conditions like age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and macular edema. These medications work by blocking vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a protein that promotes the growth of new blood vessels. It can help slow the progression of these medical conditions. VEGF antibodies are typically available as injections through the vein. Examples include Avastin (bevacizumab), Lucentis (ranibizumab), and Cyramza (ramucirumab). VEGF antibodies for eye conditions, such as Eylea (aflibercept), are injections given into the eye. You can discuss with your prescriber to determine the best option for your condition.
