BACKGROUND: No biomarkers that could guide patient selection for treatment with the anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody bevacizumab have been identified. We assessed whether genetic variants in the VEGF pathway could act as biomarkers for bevacizumab treatment outcome. METHODS: We investigated DNA from white patients from two phase 3 randomised studies. In AViTA, patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma were...
