◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must prepare to manage severe side effects like myelosuppression and hypertension as third-line colorectal cancer therapies improve survival but increase toxicity. Nurses and clinicians have new data guiding dose adjustments and patient quality-of-life discussions, and the pending FDA approval of zanzalintinib plus atezolizumab opens an immediate opportunity for updated treatment protocols.
