Abstract:
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the malignant diseases with high morbidity, high mortality and poor prognosis in China and worldwide, and the progression of which is significantly related to abnormal angiogenesis. Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), inhibits angiogenesis during tumor progression. It has been widely demonstrated to improve the survival of NSCLC patients. Therefore, bevacizumab is approved and recommended as the first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC by a number of countries and regions. In this paper, various large-scale clinical trials are analyzed to highlight the current clinical applications of bevacizumab in advanced NSCLC, especially patients with EGFR mutations. In addition, this review focuses on the efficacy, safety and predict factors of bevacizumab as anti-angiogenic therapy, in order to screen the patients who can acquire the maximal benefit.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.
