Neoadjuvant Treatment of Colon Cancer

May 20, 2015 updated by: Vejle Hospital

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Biological Treatment for Patients With Locally Advanced Colon Cancer

This study will investigate

  • the effect of preoperative combination chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced colon cancer with mutation in the KRAS, BRAF or PIK3CA gene
  • the effect of preoperative combination chemotherapy in combination with biological treatment in patients without mutation in the KRAS, BRAF or PIK3CA gene.
