7. Peripheral neuropathy \< grade 1.
8. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to start of treatment.
9. Life expectancy \> 12 weeks.
10. Accessible for treatment and follow-up.
11. All patients must be able to understand the nature of the study and give written informed consent prior to study entry.
You may not be if
1. Prior HDAC, DAC, HSP90 inhibitors or valproic acid for the treatment of cancer Patients who will need valproic acid for any medical condition during the study or within 5 days prior to first LBH589 treatment

* Congenital long QT syndrome.
* History of sustained ventricular tachycardia.
* Any history of ventricular fibrillation or torsades de pointes.
* Bradycardia defined as heart rate \< 50 beats per minutes. Patients wit a pacemaker and heart rate \>= 50 beats per minute are eligible.
* Myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months of study entry.
* Congestive heart failure (NY Heart Association class III or IV \[See Appendix B\]).
* Right bundle branch block and left anterior hemiblock (bifasicular block).

14. Patients with uncontrolled coagulopathy.
15. Abnormal thyroid function (TSH or free T4) detected at screening.Patients with known hypothyroidism who are stable on thyroid replacement are eligible.

Fine needle aspiration, core biopsy, mediastinoscopy or other minor surgical procedure within 7 days of beginning bevacizumab.
3. Patients receiving full-dose oral or parenteral anticoagulation. Patients receiving thrombolytic therapy within 10 days of starting bevacizumab are also ineligible. Patients may receive anticoagulation therapy, (1 mg coumadin daily) for port clot prophylaxis.
4. Patients with serious non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture.
5. Patients with evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy.
6. Patients with history of hemoptysis (defined as bright red blood of ½ teaspoon or more per episode) within 3 months prior to study enrollment.
7. History of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months of first bevacizumab dose.
8. Patients with proteinuria at screening for as demonstrated by either:
a. Urine protein creatinine (UPC) ration \>1.0 at screening OR b. Urine dipstick for proteinuria \> 2+ (patients discovered to have \> 2+ proteinuria on dipstick urinalysis at baseline should undergo a 24 hour urine collection and must demonstrate \< 1 g of protein in 24 hours to be eligible.
9. History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess within 6 months prior to beginning bevacizumab.
