Here's an article that explains the differences and similarities:
- What is the difference between Mvasi and Avastin? https://www.drugs.com/medical-answers/difference-between-mvasi-avastin-3331553/
@charlotte12, have you had a chance to ask your team why the treatment drug bevacizumab was changed from brand name Avastin (bevacizumab) to Mvasi (bevacizumab-awwb)?

yes, I asked the oncology nurse. The drug had not been changed, I received Mvasi from the start of the 2nd chemo. I don't know why not with the first chemo infusion. In one previous note by the nurse in the infusion center, Avastin was mentioned, but in the meds summary Mvasi was listed. That led to my inquiry.
