Abstract
The MOSAIC trial showed that the use of adjuvant oxaliplatin and an infusional regimen of 5-FU/LV in the treatment of stage II/III colon cancer improved disease-free survival (DFS). The NSABP's C-07 trial evaluated the addition of oxaliplatin to a weekly Roswell Park regimen of bolus 5-FU/LV and found a similar improvement in DFS. The benefit of oxaliplatin appears to be independent of the 5-FU/LV regimen used. This paper reviews the efficacy and toxicities of these two regimens and is meant to serve as a guide for clinical practice.Entities:
