Question : Effectiveness of Xeloda and Avastin combo as a primary treatment for colon cancer that has spread to liver?
Xeloda tablets are taken twice daily and Avastin 2xmonth intervenous. How effective is this as a primary treatment for colon cancer that has matastized to the liver. The cancer is inoperable and also harsher chem/radiation regimens are not possible due to poor health and severe renal problems. The cancer was operated on some time back so it is not present in the colon. Just the liver.

Thanks for helping

We don’t know yet, hopefully it will be effective on my brother-in-law who just had the colon surgery when they found the lesions on his liver. I believe the combo is what his doctor recommended as well.
