Abstract
Treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is one of the priority questions in oncology. Despite the significant progress in chemotherapy treatment, development of target agents is the only way of further improvement of the results. Bevacizumab (Avastin) is the first biologic demonstrated it’s efficacy in 1st and 2nd therapy lines in mCRC patients and what’s more important – in continuation with first two serial chemotherapy lines.
Author presents his own experience of prolonged bevacizumab (Avastin) therapy in several serial therapy lines in mCRC patient.
