In their recent article in Journal of Clinical Oncology, Walker et al reported the efficacy and toxicity profile of bevacizumab with intravenous (IV) versus intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy for newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer in a large intergroup phase III trial (Gynecologic Oncology Group [GOG] 252 trial). Although we appreciate their findings, we believe that the interpretation of the results raises a few important issues for the authors to clarify.
