Ischemic stroke in a patient with EGFR ‐mutated non–small‐cell lung cancer after treatment with ramucirumab
This article presents the case of a non–small-cell lun g cancer patient who experienced a new ischemic stroke after treatment with ramucirumab. The findings suggest that further studies may be necessary to investigate the relationship between ramucirumab and the risk of ischemic stroke.

Contraindicated Use of Bevacizumab and Toxicity in Elderly Patients With Cancer.
CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates widespread use of bevacizumab among patients who had contraindications. Black patients were less likely to receive the drug, but those who did were more likely to have a contraindication. Efforts to understand toxicity and efficacy in populations excluded from clinical trials are needed. PMID: 24002522 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Dabrafenib Plus Trametinib for BRAF V600E-Mutant Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Patient Case Report
We report the case of a 70-year-old Asian woman (never smoker) who was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma in May 2014. Testing at diagnosis was negative for programmed death ligand 1 orEGFR,ALK, andROS1 alterations. She was started on carboplatin-pemetrexed-bevacizumab and maintenance bevacizumab but progressed in September 2015. Subsequently, she progressed on second-line nivolumab and third-line docetaxel. In March 2016, pleural fluid obtained at diagnosis tested positive for theBRAF V600E mutation and she received dabrafenib plus trametinib. She experienced rapid tumor shrinkage and symptom improvement and became able t...

Short bevacizumab infusion as an effective and safe treatment for colorectal cancer
Mol Clin Oncol. 2022 Jul 27;17(3):139. doi: 10.3892/mco.2022.2572. eCollection 2022 Sep.ABSTRACTBevacizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that contains <10% murine protein. To prevent infusion-related hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs), the initial bevacizumab infusion is delivered for 90 min, the second for 60 min and subsequent doses for 30 min. Several previous studies have shown that short bevacizumab infusions are safe and do not result in severe HSRs in patients with colorectal, lung, ovarian and brain cancer. However, the efficacy of short bevacizumab infusions for colorectal cancer management remains unclear...
