Resumen
Objetivos

Describir las características clínicas y epidemiológicas de los pacientes con cáncer de colon metastásico a quienes se les administró bevacizumab en el Instituto Nacional de Cancerología (INC).

Métodos

Se revisaron 38 historias clínicas de pacientes atendidos en la consulta de Oncología Clínica del INC con diagnóstico de cáncer colorrectal metastásico entre 2010 y 2011.

Resultados

La edad promedio de los pacientes que recibieron bevacizumab fue de 57 años; los principales sitios de metástasis fueron el hígado y el peritoneo. Los esquemas de quimioterapia utilizados más a menudo con bevacizumab fueron 5 fluoruracilo/leucovorina y FOLFOX. En relación con los eventos adversos por el uso de bevacizumab, este fue, en general, bien tolerado; la supervivencia mediana global de los pacientes tratados con bevacizumab fue de 17,5 meses.

Conclusiones

Esta serie de casos describe las características generales de pacientes en la consulta externa del INC con cáncer colorrectal metastásico, los cuales tuvieron una buena adherencia al tratamiento con bevacizumab, y su uso estuvo asociado a una baja toxicidad con los diferentes esquemas de quimioterapia utilizados en cáncer colorrectal metastásico.

Abstract
Objectives

To describe the clinical and epidemiolgical features of patients with metastatic colon cancer treated with bevacizumab at the National Cancer Institute of Colombia (NCI).

Methods

Review was undertaken on 38 clinical cases of patients diagnosed for metastatic colorectal cancer and treated at the NCI Oncology Clinic from 2010 to 2011.

Results

Median patient age when treated with bevacizumab was 57 years; most frequent metastatic sites were the liver and peritoneum. Most commonly used chemotherapy regimen with bevacizumab included 5 fluoruracil/leucovorin and FOLFOX. Bevacizumab was generally well tolerated, with few adverse events reported; median survival rate for patients treated with bevacizumab was 17.5 months.

Conclusions

Analysis on this series of medical cases describes the general characteristics of patients treated at the NCI for metastatic colorrectal cancer whose favorable adherence to treatment with bevacizumab was linked to the low toxicity of diverse chemotherapy regimens used for metastatic colorectal cancer.
