Treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer previously treated with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-containing regimens; a vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (anti-VEGF therapy); and, in patients with tumors bearing wild-type (nonmutated) KRAS gene, an epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (anti-EGFR therapy).


CORRECT

CORRECT American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) states that regorafenib or trifluridine/tipiracil may be considered in the third- or fourth-line setting in patients with late-stage colorectal cancer with any RAS/BRAF status; however, the drugs are recommended in patients with wild-type RAS metastatic colorectal cancer previously treated with fluoropyrimidines, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, bevacizumab, and anti-EGFR therapy.
