Tumor angiogenesis, which is necessary for breast cancer growth, invasion and metastases, is regulated by pro-angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Bevacizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that targets VEGF. The addition of bevacizumab to chemotherapy has improved progression-free survival in the first- and second-line treatment of patients with advanced-stage breast cancer. In this article we review the clinical trials testing the utility of bevacizumab for the treatment of metastatic disease.
肿瘤血管生成对于乳腺癌的生长、侵袭和转移是必需的,它受到血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)等促血管生成因子的调控。贝伐珠单抗是一种靶向 VEGF 的重组人源化单克隆抗体。贝伐珠单抗联合化疗在晚期乳腺癌一线和二线治疗中改善了无进展生存期。本文回顾了临床试验,以评估贝伐珠单抗治疗转移性疾病的疗效。
