Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Over the last two decades, median overall survival (OS) for patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC) has increased to roughly 30 months due to the improvements in the number and efficacy of systemic therapies. Recently, two novel drugs have been approved for the treatment of chemorefractory mCRC patients such as regorafenib and trifluridine/tipiracil (TAS-102). However, despite their clinical approval, it still remains unclear which of these two drugs should be used first because of a lack of head-to-head randomized trials.
