  • Risk of blood clots and consequences like heart attack and stroke can increase if you have too many blood vessels because they make blood thick and sluggish.

<h3>What is erlotinib used for?</h3>
  • Erlotinib is prescribed to individuals with specific aberrant epidermal growth factor (EGFR) gene mutations for the treatment of metastatic (cancer that has already spread) non-small cell lung cancer.
  • So as per the context, seeing the patient being given the erlotinib we can predict that the patient could be suffering from cancer.
  • Healthy human beings have apoptosis which means programmed cell death.
  • But in the patients suffering from cancer, this process of apoptosis is disturbed and the formation of blood vessels will be in high number or uncontrolled.

<h3>When cancer has spread to blood vessels, what does that mean?</h3>
  • Cancer that has spread to other parts of the body from the main site, or where it first appeared, is referred to as metastatic cancer. When cancer cells separate from a tumor, they can move through the circulation or lymphatic system to other areas of the body.

Medical choices are increasingly being made in accordance with current practice based on quick testing completed at the point of service. With a Certificate of Waiver from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), many of these test systems are exempt from routine regulatory inspection under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA).

  • The following are some advantages of performing waived testing: prompt results availability while the patient is available for immediate follow-up
  • basic tests require little training
  • portability of many waived tests makes testing simpler in unconventional settings.
