        Wow– wonder how I missed this treatment.  It looks so promising in 2009–wonder how enduring it is in retrospect.

      Thanks Celeste, wondering the same thing as G-Samsa, if anyone is aware of any more recent data about one or both of these medications with respect to melanoma?  Bevacizumab (Avastin) specifically came up with one of my doctors with respect to treating both brain mets and also delayed onset radiation necrosis following SRS, but another of my doctors said that while there were some studies whose early findings had shown some benefit, they ultimately didn't show much benefit.

      Thanks, Joe

        This is the trial NCT02020707. Looks like it is phase 1 for both these meds together and started Sept 2013.
