Impact of genetic variants involved in the lipid metabolism pathway on progression free survival in patients receiving bevacizumab-based chemotherapy in metastatic colorectal cancer: a retrospective analysis of FIRE-3 and MAVERICC trials

Abstract excerpt

Background: Antiangiogenic drug (AAD)-triggered oxygen and nutrient depletion through suppression of angiogenesis switches glucose-dependent to lipid-dependent metabolism. Blocking fatty acid oxidation can enhance AAD-mediated anti-tumor effects in colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, we hypothesised that genetic variants in the lipid metabolism pathway may predict clinical outcomes [overall response rate (ORR),...
