pubmed:abstractText
Fibrin formation is required for tumor angiogenesis, metastasis, and invasion. D-dimer, a fibrin degradation product, is produced when crosslinked fibrin is degraded by plasmin. The current study prospectively examined D-dimer levels in patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma treated in a Phase II randomized trial comparing bevacizumab (Avastin, Genentech, South San Francisco, CA) plus 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (5-FU/LV) with 5-FU/LV alone.
