ESMO 2023 | Advances in colorectal cancer therapies at ESMO 2023

Julien Taieb, MD, PhD, Paris Descartes University, Paris, France, outlines the results of the Phase III SUNLIGHT (NCT04737187) and FRESCO-2 (NCT04322539) trials which assessed trifluridine plus bevacizumab and fruquintinib respectively in heavily pretreated metastatic colorectal cancer. Both trials show significant increases in overall survival, with trifluridine plus bevacizumab becoming the new standard therapy, with the potential for fruquintinib as a later-line treatment. This interview took place at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2023 Congress in Madrid, Spain.
