[Effectivity of bevacizumab rechallenge treatment in liver metastasis of colon cancer].

Since the therapeutic options for colon cancer are limited, the reinduction of treatments (rechallenge) is part of the therapeutic strategy. Our case is an example for that. A 65-year-old female patient was operated on stenotizing sigmoid cancer. Resectio was performed. Surgically incurable multiple hepatic metastases were proven. The histology revealed adenocarcinoma (grade II, pT3pN1cM1). In the first line, 13 cycles of bevacizumab (BEV) + FOLFOX followed by 2 cycles of BEV + capecitabine and 11 cycles of BEV + 5FU/LV were administered. In the second line, 28 cycles of cetuximab (CET) + FOLFIRI were given. In the third line, due to liver limited disease and based on the preference of the patient, two cycles of transarterial chemoembolisation (doxorubicin + lipiodol) were administered. In the fourth line, four cycles of trifluridine/tipiracil were given. In the fifth line, 13 cycles of BEV + FOLFIRI were given, as a rechallenge, which improved the overall survival by 6,5 months.
