Abstract

Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer worldwide, with >1 million cases diagnosed each year. Gastrointestinal bleeding is a common complication of colorectal cancer and is usually associated with the erosion and hemorrhage of the primary tumor. However, in patients who undergo a radical hemicolectomy and do not develop local recurrence, gastrointestinal bleeding may be a result of medical treatments or comorbidities. Esophageal bleeding in such patients is rare. Here, a case of severe esophageal bleeding due to anti‑angiogenesis therapy with bevacizumab, and chemotherapy with the FOLFIRI regimen (irinotecan, folinic acid and 5‑fluorouracil) in a patient with colorectal cancer is reported, and the possible pathogenesis of this event is analyzed based on the existing literature, in order to provide a reference for such cases.
