NCCN has published updates to the Central Nervous System Tumors chapter of the NCCN Drugs & Biologics Compendium (NCCN Compendium™) to reflect updates to the 2010 version of the corresponding NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines™):
Agents used to treat meningiomas were added to the Primary Central Nervous System Tumors chapter. Previously, bevacizumab was an option only when used in combination with irinotecan. For anaplastic astrocytoma/anaplastic oligodendroglioma, an analogous update was made with regards to the use of bevacizumab as a single agent; bevacizumab can now be used with or without irinotecan.
