Comparing the efficacy of glucocorticoids and anti-VEGF in treating diabetic macular edema: systematic review and comprehensive analysis
This study included randomized controlled trials up to February 2023 comparing the efficacy of corticosteroid-related therapy and anti-VEGF therapy. PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Embase were searched, and the quality of the studies was carefully assessed. Finally, 39 studies were included.ResultsResults at 3-month followup showed that intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (IVB) + triamcinolone acetonide (TA) was the most beneficial in improving best-corrected visual acuity and reducing the thickness of macular edema in the center of the retina in patients with DME. Results at 6-month follow-up showed that intravitreal ...

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1249: Intracranial Efficacy of Atezolizumab, Bevacizumab, Carboplatin, and Paclitaxel in Real-World Patients with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer and EGFR or ALK Alterations
Carles Escriu Contrary to Pemetrexed-containing chemo-immunotherapy studies, Atezolizumab, Bevacizumab, Carboplatin, and Paclitaxel (ABCP) treatment has consistently shown clinical benefit in prospective studies in patients with lung cancer and actionable mutations, where intracranial metastases are common. Here, we aimed to describe the real-life population of patients fit to receive ABCP after targeted therapy and quantify its clinical effect in patients with brain metastases. Patients treated in Cheshire and Merseyside between 2019 and 2022 were identified. Data were collected retrospectively. A total of 34 patient...

A prognostic model for overall survival in recurrent glioma patients treated with bevacizumab-containing therapy
In this study, we sought to identify clinical and molecular factors to predict overall survival in recurrent glioma patients receiving bevacizumab-containing regimens. A cohort of 102 patients was retrospectively collected from June 2011 to January 2022 at our institution. A nomogram was generated by Cox regression and feature selection algorithms based on 19 clinicopathological and 60 molecular variables. The model's performance was internally evaluated by bootstrapping in terms of discrimination and calibration. The median overall survival from the initiation of bevacizumab administration to death or last follow-up was 1...

Bevacizumab ‐induced pulmonary cystic disease
We report a unique case of a 73-year-old woman with a past medical history of metastatic endometrial adenocarcinoma status post-chemotherapy with bevacizumab that presented with worsening respiratory symptoms. A follow-up chest CT scan post chemotherapy showed the transformation of the metastatic lesions into cystic formations. After further extensive evaluation, she was diagnosed with pulmonary cystic disease secondary to bevacizumab. This case illustrates a rare presentation of secondary pulmonary cystic disease following Bevacizumab therapy in a patient with metastatic endometrial adenocarcinoma. It highlights the impor...
