Arvind Dasari, MD, MS, illustrates pivotal points of emphasis in choosing the appropriate treatment strategy for a patient receiving 3L treatment for colorectal cancer.
Arvind Dasari, MD, MS, presents data from the FRESCO-2 clinical trial evaluating fruquintinib in patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer, and provides insights on the clinical implications of the results.
For patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer, fruquintinib treatment yields a significant and clinically meaningful benefit in terms of overall survival.
Despite the overall survival benefit associated with fruquintinib, weighing the risks and benefits of the drug remains important; and one oncologist questioned the trial's placebo arm.
Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center reported study results showing that the targeted therapy fruquintinib significantly improved overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer.
