Abstract: Fruquintinib is a novel and highly selective inhibitor of vascular endothelial growthfactor receptor (VEGFR), which plays an important role in the comprehensive treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Numerous studies have shown that fruquintinib can effectively block tumor angiogenesis and has demonstrated significant efficacy and good tolerance in the treatment of metastatic CRC. This review aims to summarize and discuss the pharmacological mechanism, pharmacokinetic characteristics, adverse event of fruquintinib, as well as the results of a series of clinical trials in CRC. Additionally, this review explores the potential of combining VEGFR inhibitors with other therapies, providing new directions for further optimizing its use in personalized treatment.
