Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This research study will look at the effect of an anti-angiogenesis medication called Bevacizumab on blood vessels. Anti-angiogenesis medicines fight cancer by cutting off a tumor's blood supply, starving the tumor of nutrients and oxygen. Previous studies have shown these types of drugs can cause hypertension. The purpose of this study is to help researchers better understand why these drugs cause hypertension. This information will assist researchers in learning how to control this side effect.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

* Participants will begin this research study within 14 days of starting Bevacizumab, either as part of standard treatment or as part of another clinical trial.
* Participants will have an ultrasound test done at baseline, and after completion of their first and second cycles of therapy.
* Vital signs and blood tests will be performed a the start of the study, and after completion of the first and second cycles of therapy.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Histologically or cytologically confirmed breast cancer
* Must be starting combination treatment with bevacizumab and chemotherapy. Treatment may not have already started. Patients may receive therapy either on or off of a clinical trial.
* Any number of prior chemotherapy or biological therapy regimens is acceptable.
* Either no history of hypertension, defined as Blood Pressure \<140/90mm Hg on no antihypertensive therapy, or medically controlled pre-existing hypertension, defined as Blood Pressure \< 140/90mm HG on one non-angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I) or non-angiotensin receptor blocking (ARB) medication.

Exclusion Criteria

* History of uncontrolled hypertension within the previous 6 months
* Inability to assess blood pressure or have prolonged blood pressure cuff inflation due to history of bilateral lymph node dissections, presence of an indwelling venous access device, or other condition
* Concurrent use of a statin medication
