Fate of Avastin in early-stage cancer uncertain after second Phase III failure in colon cancer

This article was originally published in Scrip

Executive Summary

Meanwhile, the FDA has delayed its much-anticipated decision on Avastin's use in metastatic breast cancer after the company submitted new information.
