Title:
Vascular endothelial growth factor D expression is a potential biomarker of bevacizumab benefit in colorectal cancer
Published date:
06/30/2015
Excerpt:
We graded expression of VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-C, VEGF-D, VEGF-R1, and VEGF-R2 to assess whether overexpression predicted bevacizumab resistance in samples from 268 of 471 patients randomised to capecitabine (C), capecitabine and bevacizumab (CB), or CB and mitomycin (CBM)...Patients with low expression of VEGF-D (0, 1þ) benefited from bevacizumab treatment (PFS hazard ratio (HR) (C vs CBþCBM), 0.21; 95% CI, 0.08–0.55; overall survival (OS) HR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.13–0.90).
Secondary therapy:
capecitabine
