e14704 Background: Bevacizumab has been the standard treatment in first-line treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. This study explored whether the short-course and long-course use of bevacizumab could influence overall survival (OS). Methods: A total of 74 patients with advanced colorectal cancer who had received at least one cycle of bevacizumab-based regimens were included. The primary endpoint was OS defined as from the date of first diagnosis of advanced colorectal cancer to death. Results: The P value among the median OS of initiating bevacizumab in first-line group (n = 47), in the second-line group (n = 18), and the third-or more-line group (n = 9) was not reached statistically significance(P = 0.349). In the first-line initiating bevacizumab group, the irinotecan arm showed a trend of better activity than the oxaliplatin arm, but the significance was not reached(P = 0.128). For patients in the first-line initiating bevacizumab group who had received at least four courses of bevacizumab (n = 36), the median PFS and OS was 11 m and 29m respectively and for those receiving less than four courses of bevacizumab (n = 10), it was 3.9 m (P = 0.005) and 13m (P=0.003) respectively. Conclusions: The delayed use of bevacizumab has no negative effect on the OS of patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Long-Course targeted therapy with bevacizumab favors better survival in patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
