Zevalin

Zevalin is a targeted cancer treatment for certain types of blood cancers, like non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It combines a special antibody with a small amount of radiation. The antibody attaches itself specifically to cancer cells, delivering the radiation directly to them, which helps destroy the cancer while sparing most healthy cells. This approach allows for precise targeting of cancerous tissues, making treatment more effective and potentially reducing side effects compared to traditional therapies. Zevalin is administered via an injection and is typically used when other treatments haven't worked or can't be used.
