Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the results and the side - effects of the Bevacizumab – mFOLFOX6 regimen in the first-line treatment of stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Objects and methods: Retrospective and prospective description with longitudinal follow-up of 41 stage IV colorectal cancer patients according to AJCC 8th who were first - line treated with Bevacizumab – mFOLFOX6 regimen at Military 103 hospital and Central Military Hospital 108 from May 2019 to December 2023.
