Perforation of the Nasal Septum in a Colorectal Cancer Patient Treated With Aflibercept: A Case Report.

Aflibercept is an antiangiogenic agent used in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have progressed to a first-line oxaliplatin-based regimen. The main adverse effects (AEs) of antiangiogenic agents are fatigue, asthenia, anorexia, hypertension, proteinuria, urinary tract infection, diarrhea, and neutropenia. Other AEs, such as hemorrhage, thromboembolic events, and gastrointestinal perforation, are much less frequent.
