Stevens - Johnson Syndrome and Intestinal Perforation following regorafenib Administration for Metastatic Rectal Cancer: A Case Report
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Regorafenib monotherapy is useful for the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), which is refractory to multiple anti-cancer agents. However, it is associated with a high incidence of adverse events such as hand-foot skin reactions, elevated liver enzymes, etc. Although there are few reports of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) or intestinal perforation associated with regorafenib, such events should be taken into consideration, as with various other anti-cancer therapies, including bevacizumab.
