Abstract 10: Evaluation of metronomic chemotherapy regimens in preclinical orthotopically implanted colon cancer models, and in patient-derived xenografts
Abstract:Recent advances for the treatment of late stage colon cancer include a metronomic capecitabine plus bevacizumab maintenance regimen as reported for the CAIRO3 phase 3 clinical trial (Simkens et al, Lancet: 2015; 385: 1843-52) .
