Combination of oral fluoropyrimidines and EGFR-directed antibodies in frail patients with metastatic colorectal cancer: a systematic review

Evidence of treatment strategies in frail patients (i.e. not fit for combination therapies) with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is limited to dose-reduced doublet regimens or oral fluoropyrimidines (FP) with bevacizumab. We conducted a systematic review analyzing evidence for oral FPs with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-directed monoclonal antibodies for patients with RAS wild-type (WT) mCRC across treatment lines.
