Bevacizumab as salvage therapy for progressive brain stem gliomas
Conclusion: In this series treatment of progressive gliomas involving the brain stem with bevacizumab resulted in an improved clinical condition of the patients as well as a reduction of the T2 weighted lesions and reduced amino acid uptake in the tumor area. It therefore may represent a therapeutic salvage option for this type of tumor.
