RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Prior trials validated triplet chemotherapy (Tri-CT) with bevacizumab as first line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) but real-world data are scarce and practices remain heterogeneous. AIMS: To evaluate Tri-CT +/- bevacizumab efficacy and safety, and to identify factors influencing treatment decisions. METHODS: The COLOTRIP retrospective study enrolled mCRC patients treated from 2014 to 2019 in 14 French centers. RESULTS: Of 299 patients (81% PS 0-1, 58% RAS-mutated and 19% BRAF-mutated), 51% received Tri-CT and 49% Tri-CT + bevacizumab. Metastatic disease was classified as resectable (6.5%), potentially resectable (40%), and unresectable (54%). Bevacizumab use was associated with primary tumor location, mutational status and number of metastases. Median overall survival was 33.5 months in the Tri-CT group and 23.9 months in the Tri-CT + bevacizumab group, with median progression-free survival being 14.5 and 11.4 months. After adjusting for initial characteristics, no difference in survival was noted. Around 30% of patients experienced grade ≥3 adverse events. CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights several factors influencing Tri-CT use +/- bevacizumab decision and confirms the real-world good oncological outcomes and tolerability of these regimens in mCRC patients. Our results suggest that Tri-CT alone may by an appropriate option for specific subgroups of patients.

A paste of granular Teflon was injected into the upper lid of a patient for remodeling the upper palpebral furrow, which had been retracted by scars. Large foreign-body granulomas developed a few weeks later, necessitating two excisions. The causes of this unsatisfactory result with a filling material which is well established in laryngeal surgery are discussed. The authors advise against using it in well vascularized loose tissue.
