Abstract
Opinion statement: Recommended first and second line treatments for unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) include fluorouracil-based chemotherapy, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-based therapy, and anti-epidermal growth factor receptor-targeted therapies. In third line, the SUNLIGHT trial showed that trifluridine/tipiracil + bevacizumab (FTD/TPI + BEV) provided significant survival benefits and as such is now a recommended third line regimen in patients with refractory mCRC, irrespective of RAS mutational status and previous anti-VEGF treatment. Some patients are not candidates for intensive combination chemotherapy as first-line therapy due to age, low tumor burden, performance status and/or comorbidities. Capecitabine (CAP) + BEV is recommended in these patients. In the SOLSTICE trial, FTD/TPI + BEV as a first line regimen in patients not eligible for intensive therapy was not superior to CAP + BEV in terms of progression-free survival (PFS). However, in SOLSTICE, FTD/TPI + BEV resulted in similar PFS, overall survival, and maintenance of quality of life as CAP + BEV, with a different safety profile. FTD/TPI + BEV offers a possible first line alternative in patients for whom CAP + BEV is an unsuitable treatment. This narrative review explores and summarizes the clinical trial data on FTD/TPI + BEV.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published treatment option advances in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to facilitate worldwide approaches to cancer treatment.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as endocrine tumors, lymphomas, neuro-oncology, and cancers of the breast, head and neck, lung, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary region. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known oncologists, and an international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
