proteinuria/breast neoplasms

BACKGROUND The potential prognostic value of hypertension and proteinuria of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs has not been assessed in routine clinical practice so far in breast cancer. The objectives of the MARS study were to assess the prevalence of proteinuria and hypertension

Bevacizumab (BV), an inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor, is used in combination with paclitaxel (PTX) to treat advanced breast cancer. Hypertension and proteinuria are characteristic adverse events of BV therapy. We assessed the potential of these adverse events as predictors of BV

BACKGROUND Three randomised trials have demonstrated that combining bevacizumab with first-line chemotherapy significantly improves progression-free survival versus chemotherapy alone in HER2-negative locally recurrent/metastatic breast cancer (LR/mBC). However, data from Chinese populations are

FGFR1 gene is amplified in 14% of HR⁺/ HER2^- breast cancer patients. Efficacy and safety of lucitanib, an inhibitor of VEGFR1-3, FGFR1-3 and PDGFRα/β, were assessed.

HR⁺/ HER2^-

The monoclonal antibody bevacizumab, targeted against the angiogenesis factor VEGF has clinical activity against several common cancers. In metastatic breast cancer it improves response rate and time to progression in combination with paclitaxel/docetaxel compared with paclitaxel/docetaxel alone;

BACKGROUND Data on efficacy of bevacizumab (B) beyond first-line taxane -including regimen (BT) as first-line treatment are lacking. Although preclinical results that anti-angiogenic agents combined with hormonal therapy (HT) could be active, no clinical data exist about combination of maintenance

Purpose: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of bevacizumab-paclitaxel combination therapy as first- or second-line chemotherapy for HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer in daily clinical practice.
