         11. Patients must be able to understand the nature of this study and give written informed
             consent.

        Exclusion Criteria:

               -  Patients with neuroendocrine carcinoma,

               -  Women with adenocarcinoma isolated to axillary lymph nodes,

               -  Women with adenocarcinoma isolated to peritoneal involvement,

               -  Patients with carcinoma involving only 1 site, with resectable tumor at that
                  site, or

               -  Patients with squamous carcinoma limited to cervical, supraclavicular, or
                  inguinal lymph nodes.

             metastases.

          3. Patients with insufficient biopsy material available for molecular profiling assay.

          4. Women who are pregnant or lactating. All females of child-bearing potential must have
             a negative serum or urine pregnancy tests within 7 days prior to study treatment.

          5. Men and women of childbearing potential are required to use effective methods of

             medication) or > grade 2 vascular disease.

          4. Patients with clinical history of hemoptysis (defined as bright red blood of

             ½ teaspoon per episode) or hematemesis within 1 month prior to Day 1.

          5. Patients with PEG tubes or G tubes.

          6. Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days
             prior to Day 1 or anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course
             of the study.

          7. Core biopsy or other minor surgical procedure excluding placement of a vascular access
             device, within 7 days prior to Day 1.

             recent peripheral arterial thrombosis) within 6 months prior to Day 1.

          9. Patients with proteinuria (1000 mg/24 hours) at screening will be excluded. A 24-hour
             urine collection is not required in all patients (e.g., patients whose treatment plans
             exclude bevacizumab); however, all patients receiving bevacizumab with 1+ proteinuria
             on dipstick urinalysis at study entry must have a subsequent 24-hour urine collection.

         10. Patients with any non-healing wound, ulcer, or long bone fracture.

         11. Patients with any history of a bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy (in the absence of

             to first bevacizumab dose.

         14. Known hypersensitivity to any component of bevacizumab.

         15. Patients with history of any other disease, physical examination finding, or clinical
             laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that
             contraindicates the use of a novel regimen, or that might affect the results of this
             study or render the subject at high risk for treatment complications.
