Angiogenesis is crucial for the development and progression of malignant neoplasms. In terms of molecular mechanisms leading to the development of genital malignancies, the development has contributed to improved survival of patients as a result of antiangiogenic therapy, which is targeted against the vascular endothelial growth factor. Vascular endothelial growth factor is a key promoter of angiogenesis and disease progression. Bevacizumab, a humanized anti-vascular endothelial growth factor monoclonal antibody, has shown single-agent activity in women with recurrent tumors. This article reviews the results of studies using bevacizumab in ovarian cancer, which gave rise to its registration by the European Medicines Agency in 2011 in Poland. In addition, the effects of bevacizumab in recurrent, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (AURELIA), the drug’s safety profile (ROSIA), other routes of administration (intraperitoneal) as well as an assessment of the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant bevacizumab (ANTHALYA) were presented. Attention was paid to the location of recurrence after treatment with bevacizumab and escape from antiangiogenic therapy and therapeutic resistance. Bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy in persistent or recurrent cervical cancer improved both – overall survival and time to progression. That has become the baseline for an open-label global safety study (CECILIA) evaluating the efficacy and complications of bevacizumab. The presented study on the use of bevacizumab in the treatment of endometrial cancer shows promising results.
