microenvironment and tumor cell type–specific effects. 38 Bevacizumab is an anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody initially developed in colorectal cancer. Increased VEGF levels in colorectal cancers have been shown to predict poor outcomes. 39 , 40 Bevacizumab

December 2005, 6 new drugs have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of metastatic RCC. The currently available targeted agents can be classified as VEGF-pathway targeting agents (bevacizumab, sunitinib, sorafenib, and pazopanib) and mTOR

bevacizumab in patients with KRAS exon 2 wild-type mCRC, the longest overall survival was seen in the study arm that included patients with left-sided tumors treated with cetuximab (36.0 months), followed by the left-sided tumors treated with bevacizumab arm

subsequent therapy of kidney cancer with predominant clear cell histology, the category for bevacizumab was changed from a category 2B to category 2A following cytokine therapy and category 2B following tyrosine kinase inhibitor. For systemic therapy of

Kidney Cancer, first-line options with randomized phase II evidence of benefit include the FDA-approved agents sunitinib, pazopanib, and the combination of bevacizumab and interferon. Furthermore, temsirolimus is indicated for patients with a poor

public interest and attention, Dr. Carlson reviewed the research and evidence leading to the decision for the NCCN Guidelines Panel to reaffirm its existing recommendation of bevacizumab (Avastin, Genentech/Roche) in combination with paclitaxel (Taxol

–Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Therapy Perhaps no other area of breast oncology has been as controversial over the past decade as the potential role of bevacizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor, in combination with

regimens (eg, bevacizumab, pembrolizumab) in combination with, or as alternatives to, existing first- and second-line treatment options has led to improved outcomes in some patients. These NCCN Guidelines Insights focus on recent changes to first- and
