Baseline microvessel density predicts response to neoadjuvant bevacizumab treatment of locally advanced breast cancer

Abstract A subset of breast cancer patients benefits from preoperative bevacizumab and chemotherapy, but validated predictive biomarkers are lacking. Here, we aimed to evaluate tissue-based angiogenesis markers for potential predictive value regarding response to neoadjuvant bevacizumab treatment in...
