Background: Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains a significant cause of mortality despite advancements in treatments. Fruquintinib, a potent VEGFR inhibitor, has shown promise as an advanced therapy for mCRC. This review evaluates the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib compared to placebo in patients with refractory mCRC, focusing on Phase II and III trials.

Background: Numerous third-line treatment options exist for colorectal cancer. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of third-line therapies, including TKIs (fruquintinib, regorafenib) combined with PD-1 inhibitors, and trifluridine/tipiracil combined with bevacizumab, in patients with refractory microsatellite stable metastatic colorectal cancer who have progressed or are intolerant following standard first- and second-line treatments.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective analysis collected data from patients with microsatellite stable advanced colorectal adenocarcinoma, diagnosed through histopathology and treated at Henan Provincial Cancer Hospital from May 2019 to April 2023.
