The triplet combination of irinotecan, oxaliplatin and 5FU/LV (FOLFOXIRI) vs the doublet of irinotecan and 5FU/LV (FOLFIRI) as first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC): Results of a randomized phase III trial by the Gruppo Oncologico Nord Ovest (G.O.N.O.)

TL;DR: The FOLFOXIRI regimen is feasible with manageable toxicities and significantly increases RR, R0 resection of mts, PFS and overall S compared to FOLFIRI, and increased activity allowed a radical secondary resection in a greater percentage of patients in the FOL FOXIRI arm.
