Ovarian Cancer: Why the Anti-Angiogenesis ? Tumor angiogenesis is associated with malignant behavior in ovarian cancer 1,2 BEV as single-agent showed promising activity in recurrent ovarian cancer in phase II studies 3,4 BEV combined with chemotherapy showed positive results in phase III randomized clinical trials in both platinum sensitive (OCEANS) 5 as well as platinum resistant ovarian cancer (AURELIA) 6 1 Hollingsworth et al.
