Note: Participants cannot be transfused to meet this criterion * For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods with a failure rate of \< 1% per year during the treatment period and for 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab, and 6 months after the last dose of bevacizumab. * Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of \< 1 % per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices. * The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. * For men: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use a condom, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm, as defined below: With female partners of childbearing potential or pregnant female partners, men must remain abstinent or use a condom during the treatment period and for 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab and 6 months after the last dose of bevacizumab, to avoid exposing the embryo. Men must refrain from donating sperm during this same period. The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with symptomatic, untreated, or actively progressing CNS metastases will be excluded.

History of radiation pneumonitis in the radiation field (fibrosis) is permitted. * Participants who test positive for HIV at time of screening are ineligible because of the increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy. * Active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (chronic or acute), defined as having a positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) test at screening. Participants with a negative HBsAg test and a positive total hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) test at screening are eligible for the study. * Active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, defined as a positive HCV antibody test followed by a positive HCV RNA test at screening.
