Bevacizumab saves the day
BJCM, Volume 2, Number 2.

Bevacizumab (Avastin®, Roche, UK) is one of a new breed of exciting therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, which are forging a new era of oncology practice. Although bevacizumab is now given routinely in the USA as firstline therapy for patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma, financial pressures in the UK are constraining its use to anecdotal cases, such as that presented here. The case report highlights the human side of its therapeutic potential as, despite a long road of extensive previous chemotherapy regimens, a dramatic response was achieved.
