Abstract
Objective: To estimate the effectiveness of the target therapy with bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer.
Methods: Life expectancy of 208 patients having 3rd and 4th stages was retrospectively analyzed. They received different kinds of treatment: FOLFOX, canecitabin with FOLFOX combined with bevacizumab.
Results: Average life expectancy of the patients having 3rd stage of colorectal cancer is 11.4 months of those who applied FOLFOX scheme, and 14.4 months taking “FOLFOX+bevacizumab” scheme. Of those patients having the 4th stage of cancer this combination of chemotherapy and target medicine resulted in an increase in life expectancy for 3.7 months.
Conclusions: Inclusion of bevacizumab in treatment plan of the patients having 3rd and 4th stages of colorectal cancer improves life expectancy indexes of the patients.
