Bevacizumab: a new way of doing business?
This review highlights the history of the development of treatments for choroidal neovascularization (wct AMD). It examines how drug therapies have evolved for the management of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and the value of randomised clinical trials in determining efficacy. Finally it examines the emerging practice of utilising bevacizumab for the treatment of choroidal neovascularization despite the lack of any phase III clinical trial data.

Abstract
This review highlights the history of the development of treatments for choroidal neovascularization (wct AMD). It examines how drug therapies have evolved for the management of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and the value of randomised clinical trials in determining efficacy. Finally it examines the emerging practice of utilising bevacizumab for the treatment of choroidal neovascularization despite the lack of any phase III clinical trial data.
