SUMMARY
A prospective randomized phase III clinical trial, GOG 240, demonstrated a statistically significant increase in progression-free survival and overall survival in the first-line treatment of metastatic or locally advanced inoperable cervical cancer. Bevacizumab in combination with paclitaxel and cisplatin or alternatively in patients who cannot be treated with platinum, paclitaxel and topotecan, may be indicated for the treatment of adult patients with persistent, recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.
