Colorectal cancer in 2014: progress in defining first-line and maintenance therapies

Joleen M Hubbard et al. Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 2015 Feb.

Abstract

The results of several clinical trials in metastatic colorectal cancer presented in 2014 will influence clinical practice. These findings include definitive data from phase III trials comparing bevacizumab and cetuximab-based therapy in the first-line, studies elucidating the value of maintenance therapy after induction treatment, and data on new agents in this disease.
