Background: Recent data have shown that right sided colonic cancer represent a molecularly different class of tumors from the left sided ones with worse survival in patients treated with doublets systemic chemotherapy. We report the result of response and survival on patients treated with triplet chemotherapy according to the primary tumor location. Methods: Medical records of patients treated with triplet chemotherapy (capecitabine, oxaliplatin and irinotecan) in combination with bevacizumab on a prospective clinical trial (clinicaltrial.gov: NCT01311050), were retrospectively reviewed for the location of primary tumor. Right sided tumors: from cecum to hepatic flexure. Left sided tumors: from splenic flexure to and including the rectum. Transverse colon were excluded. Patients who had multiple primaries were considered right sided if at least one of them was right sided. Results: Fifty-three patients treated with above triplet therapy. Eleven were right sided and 42 were left sided. Characteristics for right vs left sided tumors were as follow: Median age: 46 (range 24-55 years) vs 53 ( 32-74 years), male: 5 (46%) vs 23 (55%), performance status 0-1: 9 (82%) vs 37 (88%), KRAS wild: 3 (27) vs 12 (29%), single metastatic site: 5 (46%) vs 14 (33%) and Prior adjuvant chemotherapy: none vs 6 (14%). Response rate (complete and partial) were 6 (54%) in right sided tumors and 24(57%) in left sided tumors. Progression free and overall survival for right sided tumors was 22 (95% confidence interval (CI) 12.3-31.7) and 22 months (95% CI 16.6-27.4) and for left sided tumors were 12 (95% CI 3.5-20.5) and 28 months (95% CI 22.7-33.2) respectively. Conclusions: First-line triplet chemotherapy with bevacizumab may overcome the poor prognosis of metastatic right sided colonic cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT01311050
