Core Tip	In the main topic of the identification of possible reliable markers to predict response to anti-angiogenic therapy, our paper represents an original contribution describing the role of not bevacizumab (BV)-bound vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/total VEGF ratio and of bevacizumab serum level as predictors of response in a consecutive series of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. In this paper the rediscovery of the predictive role of traditional biomarkers as not BV-bound VEGF/total VEGF plasma ratio together with the results of the bevacizumab pharmacokinetic in response, stable disease and progression settings of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with bevacizumab plus oxaliplatin based chemotherapy supported our hypothesis.
