The method of claim 4, wherein the cancer is metastatic ovarian cancer or metastatic peritoneum cancer. 13. The method of claim 4, wherein the cancer is metastatic renal cancer. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the cancer is glioblastoma. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the bevacizumab is administered to the patient bi-weekly at about 10 mg/kg. 16. The method of claim 4, wherein the patient does not have clinically significant cardiovascular disease prior to the bevacizumab administration. 17.
