Serum alkaline phosphatase and 30-day mortality after surgery for spinal metastatic disease.

abstract：PURPOSE:The highly vascular malignant brain tumor glioblastoma (GBM) appears to be an ideal target for anti-angiogenic therapy; however, clinical trials to date suggest the VEGF antibody bevacizumab affects only progression-free survival. Here we analyze a group of patients with GBM who received bevacizumab treatment a...
