Summary
This study compares giving chemotherapy before surgery (3 cycles) to the standard approach of surgery followed by 8 cycles of chemo in 250 people with locally advanced colon cancer. The goal is to see if the pre-surgery chemo can reduce or eliminate the need for post-surgery chemo, potentially sparing patients from extra treatments while maintaining disease control.
