https://doi.org/10.17650/2220-3478-2013-0-1-61-63
Abstract
Avastin in combination with standard chemotherapy (CT) is an effective treatment regimen in 1st and 2nd line metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Data of observational cohort programs and results of a randomized TML trial confirmed the efficacy of Avastin plus CT continued beyond first progression in patients with mCRC previously treated with Avastin plus CT.
Author presents her own experience of prolonged Avastin therapy combined with several serial CT lines in mCRC patient
