Core Tip

Core Tip: Colorectal cancer (CRC) presents insignificant symptoms in the early stage and is commonly diagnosed in the middle and advanced stages. Therefore, surgery is usually not viable because the best timing is missed, and chemotherapy, targeted therapies and other regimens are often utilized as interventions. Olaparib and bevacizumab are common targeted therapies with excellent therapeutic effects in a variety of solid tumors. This research collected the clinical data of 82 patients with advanced CRC, retrospectively investigated the clinical efficacy and safety of olaparib combined with bevacizumab in advanced CRC treatment, and analyzed the effect of this treatment regimen on the serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, matrix metalloprotein-9, cyclooxygenase-2, and related tumor markers.
