One section per setting: the options named, what each is for, the trials behind them, the recorded trade-offs and the questions to ask.

Sudden severe abdominal pain, a hard or very tender abdomen, or abdominal pain with vomiting and fever. Boxed warning for gastrointestinal perforation on bevacizumab.
