Colorectal cancer is the
third most common cancer worldwide and the fourth most common cause of cancer
death. The
median survival for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has been
16-20 months when using fluoropyrimidine and either oxaliplatin or Irinotecan.
The addition of bevacizumab to classical chemotherapeutic regimens in the
treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer has been shown to increase median
survival by around 5 months however data specifically in patients from the
Middle East is lacking. This is a regional, multicenter, prospective,
non-interventional observational study to assess the efficacy and safety of
treatment with Bevacizumab and chemotherapy in mCRC patients in
routine clinical care in Lebanon.
