A meta-analysis of 13 clinical trials with data from over 3800 patients treated with capecitabine monotherapy or capecitabine in combination with different chemotherapy regimens in multiple indications (colon, colorectal, gastric and breast cancer) showed that HFS (all grades) occurred in 1788 (47%) patients after a median time of 155 [95% CI 135, 187] days after starting treatment with capecitabine.
