Özet
This study evaluated safety and quality of life in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer undergoing treatment with aflibercept and FOLFIRI (fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan). Most patients treated with this combination experienced either improvement or stability in quality of life scores. Aflibercept plus FOLFIRI is tolerable in the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with a safety profile similar to that seen in previous studies of these individual medications.
