Avastin as maintenance?
by Terrin2, Jul 07, 2008 11:43AM
Since Avastin is not a chemo drug, wondering if it can be used as maintenance on recurrence? We use chemo drugs such as taxol for maintenance but that is toxic......
I did pose this question to Dr A on the forum, the Dr felt it was a good question and since Avastin was so new, did not really have the answer. Does anyone here have any info?
