Good question.
All the FDA should be doing is to determine if the drug is safe.
Effectiveness should be up to the doctor and the patient.

They determined that it is not safe.
Avastin is NOT a safe medication. The side-effects are deadly.
That's where studies showing risk/benefit are important.
Suspicious findings by a corrupt and compromised bureaucracy, especially given that the subjects are people with advanced cancer.

Side effects are more deadly then terminal cancer?
Oh!!! I forgot. Its a beaurocrats job to protect you from yourself!
Wasn't it the FDA that said women under 40 or something should not get a breast exam? Maybe it was another federal agency. That went over real good with women and doctors
Avastin does work on breast cancer, this is all about cost, you can choose to believe the idiots on this board that it doesn't...
...my 73 year old assistant has been on it since 3/2/10, her second round of breast cancer in 11 years, most of the tumors are gone, the few that remain are 5% of their original size, she has not missed a day of work since treatment began.....
I bet LK has no problem with his health care.
I bet it is nice living in germany and not having to worry about getting sick. Right now if I get sick and have to go to the doctor, I would be screwed.
I've been to both Canada and Germany and in both countries evey one I've spoke to about their healthcare systems have said they would rather have theirs than ours.

If it is all about cost, then prove it.
Show the statement or finding by the FDA that says "Due to the excessive cost of this medication, we are removing the approval of Avastin for breast cancer."
I will be waiting.

I am happy for your assistant.
Unfortunately, in medicine, recommendations for treatment are not based on anecdotes.
I'm sure that there is a woman somewhere in the world has had her tumors shrunk by flicking and tweaking her nipples. But it doesn't work for everyone, and therefore it would not become an official recommendation.
