| Abstract | Increased understanding of the molecular pathophysiology of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has led to development of antiangiogenic therapies in the past 5 years that significantly improved the prognosis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major growth factor in tumor angiogenesis and is implicated in tumor progression of several types of cancer, including mRCC. Use of 2 distinct approaches resulted in clinical efficacy in blocking the VEGF pathway: small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (sunitinib, sorafenib, axitinib, pazopanib) and the humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody bevacizumab that binds circulating VEGF and prevents activation of the VEGF receptor. In the 2 large phase III trials AVOREN and CALGB 90206, bevacizumab combined with interferon alfa demonstrated its efficacy as a first-line therapy in terms of progression-free survival. Nevertheless, in the era of targeted therapies, other studies are still needed to better obtain the maximal clinical benefit of bevacizumab. The aim of this overview is to report the current role of bevacizumab in the treatment of metastatic kidney cancer and to highlight possible combinations or sequential strategies that involve other targeted agents. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
