Successful Administration of Regorafenib to a Metastatic Colon Cancer Patient with Impaired Performance Status by Reducing the Initial Dose
A 59-year-old woman had recurrences in the spleen and lung 10 years after radical excision of cecal cancer. After 27 months of treatment with 5-fluorouracil/Leucovorin, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, bevacizumab, and anti-EGFR antibodies, multiple bone metastases and a left adrenal metastasis developed, and the patient's performance status (PS) deteriorated to grade 3. Regorafenib was administered at 80 mg/day. The pain and appetite improved within 2 courses, and her PS improved from grade 3 to 2. Regorafenib was increased to 120 mg/day for the 2nd course, and the patient was treated for 5 months without severe adverse effects. Regorafenib is considered to be a salvage-line treatment only for patients in relatively good condition, because full-dose regorafenib treatment often leads to severe adverse effects. Dose escalation of regorafenib from the low initial dose of 80 mg/day may be a safe and effective way of providing an opportunity of this chemotherapy to patients with impaired PS.
