  1. Combination regimens for adjuvant therapy of stage III colon cancer: the next level of therapy Professor Eric Van CutsemUniversity Hospital GasthuisbergLeuven, Belgium

  2. Benefits of adjuvant therapyof early colon cancer • Risk of relapse after surgery • stage II: 20–30% • stage III: 25–80% • Adjuvant therapy reduces risk of relapseand burden of disease • Adjuvant therapy prolongs survival

  6. Current needs in the adjuvanttreatment of stage III colon cancer • Adjuvant chemotherapy is recommended for stage III1, but there hasn’t been a universal adoption in clinical practice • Older patients (>80 years) and women are less likely to receive adjuvant treatment2 • Toxicity is a significant issue • Need for chemotherapy regimens that are • more active • better tolerated • more convenient 1.

  23. The next level of adjuvant therapyof stage III colon cancer • Xeloda is replacing 5-FU in the adjuvant setting • effective • at least equivalent DFS • safe • convenient and cost-effective • avoids complications of central venous catheters • reduced hospitalisation and costs • more freedom for the patients • XELOX has a favourable safety profile Xeloda is the ideal backbone for combination regimens
