Aspergillosis causes invasive pulmonary disease in patients with hematological malignancies. Children with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) usually have nonspecific radiographic findings unlike cavitary lesions commonly seen in adults. Pneumothorax due to rupture of peripheral fungal lesionmay be a severe complication in patients with neutropenia. Here, we describe three children during induction chemotherapy for Blymphoblastic leukemia with pneumothorax as a presenting feature of pulmonary aspergillosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For the remaining treatment applications of bevacizumab: metastatic breast cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and glioblastoma multiforme, various clinical trials have failed to show a significant benefit in overall survival. Bevacizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF). It is approved for a range of solid cancers such as ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), cervical cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and metastatic breast cancer.
