Objective: Chemoport-related thrombosis (CRT) is a serious complication that causes morbidities and interruptsadministration of intravenous cancer therapy. We investigated the incidence and risk of CRT in colorectal cancer(CRC) patients treated with bevacizumab (BEV).Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1,534 CRC patients who received chemotherapy with or without BEVusing a chemoport between 2014 and 2016.Results: The participants had a median age of 58 (18-85) years, and 60.3% were male. All participants werestratified into three groups: adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) (n=670), palliative chemotherapy (PC) without BEV(n=356), and PC with BEV (n=508). The median follow-up was 20.19 (interquartile range, 14.07-27.19) months.CRT occurred in 3.8% of all patients; incidence of symptomatic and asymptomatic CRT was 2.9% and 0.9%,respectively. CRT occurred more in patients with BEV (5.7%) than in patients without BEV (2.9%, P=0.008). Thecumulative incidence of CRT in patients administered PC with BEV was significantly higher than that in thoseadministered AC (P=0.011) and there was a trend toward increased CRY in patients administered PC with BEVcompared with those administered PC without BEV (P=0.044). Multivariate analysis found that BEV treatment wasthe only variable that was significandy associated with CRT (hazard ratio, 2.06; 95% confidence interval, 1.24-3.43;P=0.006).Conclusions: BEV treatment was significandy associated with increased incidence of CRT in CRC patients.
