anti-VEGF therapy

Anti-VEGF therapy is a medical treatment that blocks a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which promotes the growth of blood vessels. This therapy is commonly used for conditions like age-related macular degeneration and certain cancers, where abnormal blood vessel growth can cause problems. By inhibiting VEGF, the treatment helps reduce swelling, improve vision, or limit tumor growth, making it an important option for managing these diseases. Anti-VEGF medications can be delivered through injections into the eye or intravenously, depending on the condition being treated.
