A decade of progress: advances in the third-line treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
American Journal of Managed Care 2024 May
The treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains challenging. There has been substantial progress in understanding the molecular pathology of the disease that has led to meaningful advancements in treatment options with varying mechanisms of action, although treatment remains costly. Cytotoxic therapies, which are typically combined with targeted therapies, remain the mainstay of first- and second-line treatment for mCRC. While also relevant in earlier lines of therapy, molecular testing has become increasingly important to guide therapy across lines of therapy, for which treatment options are limited. A paucity of data exists in establishing clinical criteria for optimizing the sequencing of therapies in the third line and beyond. A customized approach should consider the efficacy of the therapy balanced with the patient's goals. Sequencing criteria should include a consideration for exposing patients to as many different modes of therapy as possible while preserving quality of life, avoiding serious toxicities, and accounting for the potential impact of cumulative toxicities from prior therapies.
