Summary

This study tested whether adding bevacizumab to a three-drug chemotherapy (FOLFOXIRI) could shrink liver tumors enough to allow surgery in people with a specific genetic type (RAS mutation) of colorectal cancer that had spread only to the liver. 138 adults with initially inoperable liver metastases took part. The goal was to see if the combination increased the number of patients who could have their liver tumors completely removed.
