This drug blocks the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). EGFR is important for cell growth and repair. The drug works on both normal and mutated forms of EGFR. By blocking EGFR, it slows down abnormal cell growth and reduces the formation of new blood vessels. This helps control the spread of disease.
