Abstract:
We examined efficacy and safety of bevacizumab (BV)+modified FOLFOX6 (mFOLFOX6) regimen for unresectable colorectal cancer. We had 16 patients: liver metastases 8, lung metastases 4, local recurrences 2, and lymph node metastases 2, as for evaluable lesions. The response rate was 46.6%, and disease control rate was 86.6%. Hepatic metastatectomy was done in two cases after PR response. There was 1 infusion related reaction case, 1 tumor bleeding and 1 anal fistula as the adverse events. In conclusion, the BV+mFOLFOX6 is one of the effective and feasible regimens for unresectable colorectal cancer.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy.
