A 61-year-old female with surgically treated rectal cancer that had metastasized to lung and lymph nodes was treated with bevacizumab (BV) plus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (LV) as third-line chemotherapy after treatment failures with infusional 5-FU, LV and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX regimen); and infusional 5-FU, LV and irinotecan (FOLFIRI regimen). After four cycles of treatment, a computed tomography scan revealed reduced sizes of the lung and lymph node metastases. Tumor response has still been maintained after six cycles of treatment, and the chemotherapeutic response was evaluated as partial response according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumor guidelines. Manageable toxicity included grade 2 hypertension, grade 1 epistaxis and grade 1 stomatitis. Although there are no clinical trial results supporting the use of BV-containing therapy as third-line chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer, BV plus 5-FU and LV was effective and feasible in our patient with colon cancer that had progressed after treatment with 5-FU, irinotecan and oxaliplatin.
