Could fewer chemo treatments control colon cancer better?

NCT ID NCT01918527

Summary

This study compares two approaches for treating locally advanced colon cancer. One group receives three cycles of chemotherapy before surgery, while the other receives the standard treatment of surgery followed by eight cycles of chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the pre-surgery approach is just as effective at keeping cancer from returning while potentially reducing the total amount of chemotherapy needed.
