Does aflibercept need to be taken long-term?

Ziv-aflibercept (Ziv-aflibercept) is a drug used to treat colon cancer (especially metastatic colorectal cancer). Its use regimen and duration are usually determined based on the patient's specific condition, overall health status, and doctor's recommendations. Aflibercept is a targeted drug that slows the growth and spread of tumors by inhibiting the action of vascular endothelial growth factor. It is usually given as an intravenous injection and can be combined with chemotherapy drugs such as irinotecan. Treatment cycles with aflibercept may vary among individuals and require multiple intravenous injections. However, whether long-term use is required, as well as the specific frequency and dosage, should be determined based on the doctor's advice and prescription. Patients should not change the medication method or stop medication without authorization, so as not to affect the treatment effect.
