Key takeaways

Bain tumor medications treat different forms of brain cancer. They broadly work by targeting and killing cancer cells or stopping their growth. Common classes include alkylating agents, angiogenesis inhibitors, and targeted therapies. Alkylating agents like BiCNU (carmustine) are often given as injections or oral pills. Angiogenesis inhibitors, such as Avastin (bevacizumab), are typically administered as injections. Targeted therapies, such as Ojemda (tovorafenib), are often taken as oral pills or liquids.
