Biologics are powerful medicines that use the body's immune system to fight disease, including cancer. Biologics called angiogenesis inhibitors, and some monoclonal antibodies may raise blood pressure. Examples are:
- Bevacizumab (Avastin, Vegzelma, others).
- Gefitinib (Iressa).
- Imatinib (Gleevec).
- Pazopanib (Votrient).
- Ramucirumab (Cyramza).
