Risk of antiangiogenic adverse events in metastatic colorectal cancer patients receiving aflibercept in combination with chemotherapy: A meta-analysis.

The available evidence suggests that using aflibercept is associated with an increased risk of antiangiogenic adverse events compared with controls. Further studies are needed to investigate this association. In the appropriate clinical scenario, the use of aflibercept in its approved indications remains justified. However, the results of this study should be interpreted with caution, as some of the evidence comes from single-arm clinical trials.
