Incidence and risk of thromboembolism associated with bevacizumab in patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma.
Conclusions: Bevacizumab is associated with a significantly increased risk of thromboembolism development in NSCLC patients. It may have dose-toxicity relationship and low dose of bevacizumab may be a better choice for NSCLC patients, with equal efficacy and low hazard of thromboembolism events.
