Abstract:
The patient was a 73-year-old female with sigmoid colon cancer, who underwent resection of sigmoid colon cancer and liver metastasis. She was treated with 5-fluorouracil and levofolinate calcium(sLV5FU2)plus bevacizumab(BV) for advanced colorectal cancer. She was treated with angiotensin II receptor blocker(ARB)because hersystolic blood pressure was 200 mmHg and her diastolic blood pressure 100 mmHg after five courses of BV therapy. As a result, her blood pressure was controlled. It was possible to administer BV. Therefore, ARB may be the preferred antihypertensive agent in the management of BV-induced hypertension.
