Key message from 2014 ESMO clinical guidelinesVan Cutsem et al, Ann Oncol ’14


A paradigm shift in mCRC

‘One size of treatment intensity fits all’

‘One size of treatment intensity DOES NOT fit all’

The kingdom of doublets The era of fine tuning

Which is the ‘best’ targeted

agent to be combined with a

chemo doublet?

Which is the most appropriate

treatment intensity?

Monotherapy: need or choice?

ESMO Guidelines 2014

“Without present or imminent

symptoms and limited risk for

rapid deterioration, the aim is

rather prevention of tumour

progression and prolongation of

life with minimal treatment

burden”

In most cases we cannot estimate how ‘indolent’ the

disease is

NEED!

i. Reinforce the use of EGFR antibody therapy in patients with mCRC and left-sided RAS wt

tumours.

ii. Promote the idea that patients with right-sided RAS wt tumours might be better treated with

chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy plus bevacizumab - except maybe if the goal is

tumour size reduction as the ORRs were higher (but not PFS and OS).

Take home message

• The choice of the first-line treatment has a crucial mission in

mCRC: to achieve disease control, in order to allow further

interventions (systemic treatments and locoregional tools)

• Though recognizing the importance of exposing mCRC patients

to all available treatment options across different lines of

treatment (sequencing, continuum of care…), the impact of the

first-line treatment on the disease history is the most relevant

• Today a mix of clinical and molecular factors contributes to the

therapeutic decision-making process…the contribution of

molecular markers will probably increase in the next future
