[Experience of Ramucirumab plus FOLFIRI as Second-Line Treatment for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer in Our Hospital].
Gan to Kagaku Ryoho. Cancer & Chemotherapy 2017 November
We experienced 2 cases in which ramucirumab plus FOLFIRI as second-line treatment was beneficial. Case 1 was a 67-yearold man, underwent panitumumab plus mFOLFOX6 as first-line treatment for unresectable rectal cancer with ureteral invasion and multiple liver metastases, but the disease became worse at 9.3 months. We changed to ramucirumab plus FOLFIRI as second-line treatment. After 2 courses, a grade 3 febrile neutropenia was observed, but treatment was beneficial and continued administration for 9 months or more. Case 2 was a 73-year-old man who underwent panitumumab plus mFOLFOX6 as first-line treatment after cytoreductive surgery of the primary lesion for sigmoid colon cancer with intestinal obstruction and liver metastasis, but the disease became worse at 4.7 months. Upon entering ramucirumab plus FOLFIRI therapy, the metastatic lesions shrinked remarkably. Adverse events of grade 3 or higher were not observed and finally continued administration for 7.9 months. It was suggested that ramucirumab plus FOLFIRI combination therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer could be an effective as second-line treatment.
