Metastatic Colorectal Cancer | AG9401
A randomised trial of early chemotherapy in asymptomatic metastatic colorectal cancer.
Schema
Summary
People with advanced colon cancer sometimes feel completely well when they are first diagnosed. This study asks the question, “Is it better to start chemotherapy immediately - causing serious side-effects - or delay until symptoms appear?” The results of this study demonstrated that delaying chemotherapy was as safe as giving treatment straightaway and allowed better quality of life in the meantime.
