“…Clinical trials and observational studies have also reported an increased incidence of hypertension during systemic, but not intra-ocular, treatment with all commercially available anti-VEGF drugs [3]. Differences in patient characteristics, type of cancer, anti-VEGF treatment regimens and methods for assessing blood pressure notwithstanding, the reported incidence of hypertension ranges between 9% and 67%, and the incidence of severe hypertension (Grade 3 or Grade 4) ranges between 3% and 18% [9]. The available evidence suggests that both the incidence and the severity of anti-VEGF-induced hypertension are dosedependent [10].…”
