Background: There is a rarity of evidence for retreatment with oxaliplatin for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), especially in combination with bevacizumab. This is a retrospective study of second line bevacizumab (Bev) plus FOLFOX (oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and leucovorin) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer previously treated with adjuvant oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy. Methods: Patients with age older than 18 and histologically confirmed metastatic colorectal cancer treated with second line bevacizumab plus FOLFOX in a single institute between 2015 and 2020 were enrolled. History of previous adjuvant chemotherapy regimens in patients with metachronous metastatic colorectal cancer was analyzed. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of the second line treatment were calculated using Kaplan-Meier method and compared between patients pretreated with adjuvant oxaliplatin (ReOx) and oxaliplatin-naive patients (control) with the log rank test. Results: A total of 72 patients were included. 23 patients (ReOx) were pretreated with adjuvant oxaliplatin and 49 patients (control) were oxaliplatin-naive before the second line treatment. There was a tendency of younger age in the ReOx group, but not statistically significant. Liver metastasis was significantly more frequent in the control group. The median PFS and OS in the ReOx group and the control group were 4.3 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.67–21.50) versus 5.5 months (95% CI, 4.23–8.20, hazard ratio [HR] = 0.84), and 10.5 months (95% CI, 5.40–30.37) versus 9.4 months (95% CI, 6.00–14.9, HR = 1.01) respectively. There was no significant difference of PFS (p= 0.523) and OS (p= 0.9745) between two groups. Conclusions: This study suggests a potential survival benefit of bevacizumab plus FOLFOX for mCRC patients previously treated with adjuvant oxaliplatin-containing treatment comparable to oxaliplatin-naive patients.
