The anti-tumoral effects of bevacizumab have been well documented in glioblastoma multiforme, and is attributable in part to it's anti-angiogenic properties. Little attention has been given to the potential alteration in global cerebral blood flow that might results from administration of this therapeutic agent, which is examined in this research.
