Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Stage III Colon Cancer with 5-Fluorouracil and Levamisole versus 5-Fluorouracil and Leucovorin

Abstract

Only a limited number of patients could be recruited in this study. The observed data support the results of other studies, which concluded that 6 months (or 12 months) treatment with 5-FU/FA is equivalent to 12 months treatment with 5-FU/LEV. Therefore the 6 months treatment with 5-FU/FA can be supported as standard for adjuvant therapy of stage III colon cancer.
