Rebelo de Almeida et al. describe the application of zebrafish tumor xenografts (zAvatars) to analyse the efficacy of bevacizumab (FDA approved drug) to treat cancer patients with highly variable outcomes. The authors suggest that these zAvatars could be used as a predictive model to determine whether or not bevacizumab treatment would be efficient for individual patients.
