- Abstract
There is considerable uncertainty as to whether adjuvant 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy provides survival benefit for colon cancer patients with stage II disease. Consequently, the current rates of chemotherapy use for this disease are low despite 5-year survival rates of only 70-80%. The aim of the present study is to compare the survival rate of stage II colon cancer patients treated by surgery alone with that of patients also treated by chemotherapy.
