Article Synopsis
  • Simulation-based education in healthcare utilizes realistic clinical scenarios for effective learning, and the SoFraSimS has created guidelines to enhance scenario design for various simulation types.
  • A literature review and expert input led to the identification of key criteria for creating effective simulation scenarios across modalities.
  • The resulting templates consist of five sections that structure scenario context, learning objectives, preparation needs, simulation analysis, and post-simulation improvements to maximize educational outcomes.*

After failure of first line FOLFOX-bevacizumab for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), adding either bevacizumab or aflibercept to second-line FOLFIRI increases survival compared to FOLFIRI alone. In this French retrospective multicentre cohort, we included patients with a mCRC treated with either FOLFIRI-aflibercept or FOLFIRI-bevacizumab. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), and secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR: CR + PR + SD) and safety.
