Detailed Description

Nowadays in clinical practice patients with previously untreated metastatic breast cancer often receive taxane-based chemotherapy (paclitaxel or docetaxel) in combination with bevacizumab as it has been shown to increase progression-free survival. There is currently minimal information whether bevacizumab should be given as maintenance therapy after discontinuation of chemotherapy.
