Abstract:Based on the results of the MOSAIC trial that were recently confirmed by the NSABP protocol C-07 study, the combination of oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil has become the standard adjuvant treatment for patients with stage III colon cancer. These pivotal studies confirm a similar, significant advantage in populations with stage II and III disease; however, they show a remarkable difference in toxicity, with greater risk of life-threatening complications (eg, diarrhea and bowel wall injury) in the NSABP C-07 trial. In this article, we analyze the differences and similarities between these studies. Copyright © 2009 by Current Medicine Group LLC.
