Re: Blue shield of California stops covering Avastin for breast cancer

Most of the targeted drugs work best in a subsubset of patients, and best(longest) when combined with another targeted agent they think

How will they ever find out what that subsubset is and what the best combination is if they don't allow the drug to be given/paid for?

Just my two cents this morning!
