Title: MARKERS FOR THE EFFICIENCY OF BEVACIZUMAB THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH DISSEMINATED COLON CARCINOMA
Abstract: Among the drugs with angiogenic mechanism of action, only bevacizumab demonstrates proved activity against colorectal cancer. However, tumor resistance develops during its treatment and a number of tumors seem to be primarily susceptive to bevacizumab. This review gives the results of investigations for finding the clinical, instrumental, and molecular factors predicting the efficacy of bevacizumab in patients mainly with disseminated colon carcinoma.
